5. Reason for Authority Cited: Evans Army Community Hospital owns the Hologic TLiIQ Analyzer and requires supplies that are compatible with this analyzer. Market Research has revealed that Hologic is the proprietary and the manufacture of Rapid fFN testing for the Hologic TLilQ System.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: Notice of intent to sole source was posted on FBO for 7 days with no responses. At this time Hologic does not have third party distributors and therefore, is the only vendor that can offer the supplies requested. Once the Hologic becomes obsolete, the government will continue to seek new resources that can satisfy this requirement through continued market research.

7. Market Survey: In accordance with FAR Part 10, market research was conducted for this acquisition. Market research revealed there previously were companies that distributed similar Rapid fFN testing that were compatible with TLilQ System. However, Hologic has bought out the aforementioned companies and now is the sole proprietor of the rapid testing supplies for TLiIQ System.
