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

This requirement will be awarded for an emergency short-term purchase order to the OEM, Evoqua Water Technologies, IAW FAR 6.302-2 (b) (1). The OEM can immediately mobilize and provide technicians and parts required to perform these critical services now. The OEM has no known small business subcontractors that can mobilize immediately. Several attempts have been made to put a long-term, competitive purchase order in place. These services are critical to direct patient care. A lapse in-service would-be life threatening patients receiving critical dialysis care at the medical center

As this is an urgent requirement, market research was not conducted.
