VHAPG Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT

Last Updated: 02/01/22 Page 2 of 2

The neXus Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System is intended for the ultrasonic fragmentation, emulsification and aspiration of both soft and hard tissue.

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

As defined in FAR Part 13 .106-1 (b) the procurement is peculiar to one manufacturer. Misonix is the only manufacturer that would allow seamless compatibility with the current equipment already delployed and used within the John D. Dingell Ortho Spine Department, which is essential.The neXus Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System is a revolutionary product that integrates the company's three handheld BoneScalpel, SonicOne and Sonastar devices into one platform. Nexus uniquely incorporates RF capabilities, allowing for use in general surgery procedures. The device also incorporates Smart Technology that allows for easier setup and use.

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

Searched VIP with NAICS 339112 and received 402 results. Added keyword “NEXUS” and received 0 results. Searched VetCert with NAICS 339112 and received 574 results. Searched DSBS with NAICS 339112 and keyword NEXUS and received 0 results. Located brand name justification no less than one year old with market research for same/similar requirement. CO Mr. LaShawn Knight published an RFI and located two SDVOSBs and one SB that are resellers/distributors for NeXus products.

Therefore; the VA rule of two is not attainable. The SBA rule of two is attainable. Based on the Market Research, the results of the nonmanufactured rule analysis determine that the SBA rule of two is not attainable.

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.
