4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition: The statutory authority is 41 United States Code 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), sole source (including brand name) under the authority of the simplified procedures for certain commercial items.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Authority Cited: GlobalMed products can only be sold by authorized resellers. Excentium Inc, ADS, Inc. and Soldier Point Digital Health are the only authorized reseller. Excentium, Inc. and ADS are the only vendors with existing agreements and experience servicing this system within DoD. Excentium Inc. as the current vendor, is the only authorized resellers for GlobalMed products that can meet the acquisition timeline to avoid a gap in service. A unique license from GlobalMed, obtainable only through their licensed resellers like Excentium, is essential for maintaining the virtual carts crucial to the DHA's mission of providing uninterrupted telehealth services. These systems enable remote examinations by specialists in smaller clinics and austere environments, facilitating care in locations with limited access to higher-level physicians. Because GlobalMed exclusively sells through licensed resellers, ensuring Excentium's ability to service and maintain these vital carts necessitates the acquisition of this unique GlobalMed license through Excentium. The loss of the capability will directly impact the delivery of remote patient care where virtual capabilities are heavily relied upon.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: The Contracting Office issued a Notice of Intent on September 9, 2025, providing an opportunity for other vendors to express their interest. No responses were received by the close date of September 15, 2025.
