(NCO) 10.

Transaction: 541-25-4-250-0376

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10 intends to award a new, firm fixed price, brand name purchase order to TrillaMed, LLC, an authorized Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOSB), for Mass Finishing Inc. to purchase centrifugal autofinishing machines.

ESTIMATED DOLLAR VALUE:

REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE: 30 Days ARO

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Per FAR 11.105 – Items peculiar to one manufacturer – and FAR 12.4 – Unique Requirements Regarding Terms and Conditions for Commercial Items – Mass Finishing, Inc. is uniquely qualified to provide the HZ-12 Centrifugal Barrel Finishing Machine. The VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System requires this specific machine due to its compatibility with existing 3D printing workflows and its proven ability to perform high-energy, automated surface finishing on 3D-printed dental components. The HZ-12 model includes proprietary design features—such as a variable speed drive, four latched-end barrels, and media-specific accessories—that are essential to meet the post-processing requirements of medical-grade dental products. Market research confirmed that no other manufacturers or authorized distributors currently offer equipment that meets these specific functional, technical, and performance requirements. As a result, substituting another product would compromise operational efficiency and system compatibility.

Therefore, procurement is limited to Mass Finishing, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted by the Contracting Officer to determine if

Revision: 01 Effective Date: 11/15/2024 Page 2 of 2 Acquisition ID# 36C250-25-AP-4008 there were other vendors capable of providing Centrifugal Auto Finishing Machines that meet the CLE VAMC's specific requirements. The following sources were reviewed:

The OEM, Mass Finishing, Inc., a small business, was contacted to receive a list of authorized distributors, with a concentration on SDVOSB and VOSB-authorized distributors. The OEM stated that they currently use TrillaMed LLC. The OEM will not quote on this, will only allow TrillaMed.

• GSA eLibrary, ECAT, SAM.gov, Interagency Contract Directories, NAC, FPDS, SCMC, MSVP, BIC and FDA:

o Keywords Used: "Centrifugal auto finishing machine" o Results: There were no results

• DSBS:

o NAICS Code Searched: 3332448 (All Other Industrial Machinery

Manufacturing) o Keywords Used: " Centrifugal auto finishing machine" o Results: There were no results, besides TrillaMed, LLC.

The Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR) applies to this procurement under NAICS 333248. The SBA has not issued a waiver. The VA and SBA Rule of Two cannot be met, as two or more authorized distributors were not identified. Therefore, this acquisition will be sole sourced to the TrillaMed, LLC, a SDVOSB authorized distributor.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-

1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Per FAR 13.106-3(a)(2)(ii), price reasonableness will be based on comparison of proposed prices with prices found reasonable on previous purchases using

FPDS.
