About this file
This document is a single source justification for a federal contract award. The Department of Veterans Affairs Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System requires an electroretinography device to be used at its facility. Market research revealed that LKC Technologies Inc., a small business, is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the needed device. A request for information did not uncover any other sources that could provide an equivalent system. As only this product meets the agency's minimum needs for human safety and effectiveness, a sole source award to LKC Technologies Inc. is substantiated. The related federal contract opportunity is a pre-solicitation notice for solicitation number 36C25623Q1254 for an electroretinography device for the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System, to be awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16.
