5. Reason for Authority Cited: Hologic is the only source authorized to service Government owned

Mammography Imaging System due to the unique patent. This Imaging System's maintenance is

Control Number: 18-RHCO-C-424 proprietary and available only through Hologic, Inc. Other vendors are not authorized to provide this service, to manufacturer's specification on the equipment without compromising the manufacturer's full factory OEM warranty. If another vendor provides this service, manufacturer's warranty on equipment will be voided, plus optimum operation of equipment would be in jeopardy.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: Hologic is the sole provider/manufacturer of the

Mammography Imaging System and all parts and repairs are purchased through the manufacturer, Hologic, Inc. When government owned imaging system becomes obsolete, the government will seek new resources that will satisfy this requirement through competition.

7. Market Survey: A thorough review of a variety of GSA Schedules, the small business market place and internet searches revealed that there are many contractors that service biomedical equipment. However. none of these companies provide support services for the Hologic

Mammography Imaging System. Due to the fact that there are no contractors able to provide this service for the Mammography Imaging System, Hologic must provide this service, a sole source acquisition is required. A Notice of Intent was posted via FedBizOpps for 7 days with no responses received.
