5. Reason for Authority Cited: This no-cost blanket purchase agreement is proposed to provide the OB/GYN department continuous disposable equipment on an-as needed basis to meet patient care. This equipment has a touchscreen user interface; improved operation settings and a rapid response to changes in intrauterine pressure. The TruClear system offers a next generation solution technology for hysteroscopic procedures. In addition, the HysteroLux system enables continuous, real-time monitoring of fluid deficit when its scale is in use and it reduces the risk of fluid overload by continuously monitoring fluid volume deficit with a six percent accuracy. This equipment is needed for daily surgical cases related to hysteroscopy, acquiring them will be at a much greater expense and risk to the facility. Hysteroscopy Surgeries are one of the most commonly performed OB/GYN procedures here at WAMC, each requiring the purchase and usage of disposable surgical items. For contractual purposes, there is no funds attached or required for purchase orders. The cost of disposables used during hysteroscopy surgery within just the first 12 months far exceed the price of purchasing this equipment outright. This allows WAMC to acquire these items at a much cheaper price as the disposables are already being purchased through ECAT are absolutely critical in each surgical case. Due to this no-cost action; the products are being sole-sourced to the contractor.

8. Market Research: Market Research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10. I researched by using the General NAICS code 339112 and found numerous small business contractors having the capability but when I searched using NAICS code and Keywords “TruClear”.

I searched using the Keyword “Hysteroscopy” and find that there a woman owned business met the search criteria”. Reached out to National Advanced Endoscopy Devices and they sell flexible Hysteroscopy forceps, Hystero-Resectoscopes, and hysteroscopes sheaths. They do not provide any equipment associated with these devices.
