• Quick Clot
• Kimberly Clark Gloves
• SC Johnson Zip Loc Bags
• Winsford Company Break Away Locks
• Sharpies Markers
This recommendation is for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source/only one manufacture. Competition is impractical for the following reasons (please answer the questions below):
1. What are the reasons for soliciting only the suggested source/suggested brand name? Please provide the unique characteristics of the items or services along with the supporting rationale and the market research performed to substantiate your reason for the suggested source/brand name.
These kits will be used if there is a life-threatening injury and all the components need to function to a brand name status. They will also sit in AED cabinets for many years and we need to be sure that the components don’t degrade. This is why brand names are important.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If the components are not brand name and don’t function to par, then life saving measures may not save an employee’s life.
