3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The VA Brooklyn Campus is requesting a firm-fixed price procurement effective July 16, 2021 through December 31, 2021, of an MRI trailer rental so that its patients can maintain access to these services while the new Brooklyn MRI suite is built without them having to go to other campuses for MRI service. Current MRI trailer services are provided by Insight Health Corp. The installation of this unit at the medical center required extensive utility and walk-way connectivity to the main hospital building. The current unit is “built-into” the side of the hospital ground floor and runs off the hospital’s infrastructure. Removal of the unit will require a decommissioning process as well as construction to restore the integrity of the medical center’s exterior/interior and utility tie-ins. Decommissioning, demolition, commissioning of a new unit and new construction will require the Government to incur an additional expense for this service as well as additional time for the service. It is the Government’s contention that the thousands of dollars it would take to bring the new trailer up to standard is not worth the inconvenience to patients, especially given the relatively short period of performance of the contract, about five-and-a half months.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

A notice of intent to sole source this requirement was posted to Contracting Opportunities on

June 8, 2021. One company, a large business, inquired about the unit currently on site. Another company, a small business, expressed interest in a competitive solicitation.

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.
