5. Reason for Authority Cited: Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, is the sole manufacturer of the invitro diagnostic reagent required for the Government owned ProVue System currently being used at WBAMC.

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics does not have any distributors nor has certify any third party vendors to sell their reagents.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: As the government owned ProVue System becomes obsolete, research will be performed to consider other products that meet or exceed the current equipment requirements.

Notice of Intent was posted on FBO for 7 days to increase competition with no responses.

7. Market Survey: There is no other vendor that can provide these Invitro Diagnostic reagents. These particular vials must meet all the food and drug administration and college of American pathology approval and certification. Due to the fact that there are no contractors able to provide Invitro diagnostic reagent, Ortho-

Clinical Diagnostics must provide this requirement, a sole source acquisition is required.
