5. Demonstration that the Contractor’s Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority): The Medical Center is actively renovating and expanding the existing surgery suite that is nearly 20 years old. Two hybrid operating rooms have recently been added to the surgery suite as part of a Surgery Addition project that have Trumpf Medical Light and Equipment Booms installed. The Renovate Operating Room project will build eight new Operation Rooms. The intent is for the seven Trumpf Medical Light and Equipment Booms that are currently being held in storage be installed in the Operating Room renovation project (VA supplied/ Contractor installed) with the Light and Equipment Booms for the eighth OR to be Contractor provided and installed.
