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

The Minneapolis VA Special Hematology laboratory currently owns 2 BD Biosciences FACS Canto Systems. These instruments are used to identify and enumerate specific leukocyte populations using characteristic monoclonal antibody combinations, staining intensity and light scatter properties to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of malignancies. This procurement will replace the older of the two BD Biosciences FACS Canto Systems, and the replacement system must be able to work in conjuncture with the system that will remain in place, and utilize the same reagents, hardware, and software in order to maintain the continuity amongst lab results.

In addition, it takes a long time (months to years) to train individuals to become completely familiar with the operation of the software, as well as reagent‐reagent and reagent‐sample interactions that drive competent use of each Flow Cytometry system

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

The Vetbiz Registry was search using NAICS code 334516 which returned 122 results. BD is the manufacture and sole distributor of this system. In addition, this justification and approval will be posted on the Contract Opportunities portion of beta.SAM.gov.

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.
