Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). (ii) Where a single source is identified to provide a portion of a purchase because that portion of the purchase specifies a particular brand-name item, the documentation in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section only applies to the portion of the purchase requiring brand-name item.

2. Other facts supporting sole source procurement:

a. What can this product/service do that other products/services cannot do?

This reagent kit fulfills the mandatory requirements needed to operate the Illumina Novaseq Sequencer in our laboratory. This manufacture has these specific specialized kits for the use of Illumina instruments, NovaSeq sequencer specifically.

The Illumina DNA Prep kits are also needed, and other options have not been deemed as efficient as these kits. Other products cannot be considered for this use.

b. What other products/services were considered and why did they not meet the need?

This kit is the only approved for the operating of this sequencer and Illumina does not have other alternatives to this kit apart from project specific needs of the same type of kit. Any other kit would deem the use inappropriate and thus cause failure
