FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B): Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; The OEM Steris Corporation only authorized their partner Sustainment Technologies to provide maintenance and repairs to their equipment.

FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited source procedures.

FAR 8.405-6(b): Items peculiar to one manufacturer:

A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is:

These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing equipment.

(6) Describe the Market Research Conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.
