The Contract Specialist searched GSA Advantage, GSA eLibrary, ADDS UP, SAM, and FPDS. A search on GSA Advantage discovered these products are manufactured by small business NATUS Medical, Inc., who is the sole distributor of these items. A search on GSA eLibrary confirmed that the above FSS contract is active. A search on FPDS resulted in multiple awards made to NATUS for EEG systems within the last six years. A search on ADDS UP crossreferencing the awards found on FPDS was done to determine price reasonableness.

4. Authority:

Order Against FSS: Authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program, Title III of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 USC 251, et seq.); Title 40 USC 501, Services for Executive Agencies; and Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 (PL 107-107) and implemented by FAR 8.405-6. Mark the applicable exception:

An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A);

Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; (FAR 8.405- 6(a)(1)(i)(B));

In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C)); or

Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer). A brand name item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer (FAR 8.405-6(b)).

5. Rationale/explanation to support cited authority:

The VAPHS Neurology Department requires two (2) NATUS Electroencephalogram (EEG) Machine and Workstation systems to be used within the Pittsburgh Neurology Department in conjunction with the NATUS NeuroWorks software infrastructure existing at the facility. Not only is NATUS Medical the sole distributor of these items, NATUS is the only EEG system that is fully compatible
