Control Number: 20-RHCO-C49

5. Reason for Authority Cited: Due to the patient's declining condition. It was imperative that treatment commence as soon as possible to avoid further progression of the diseases and their associated outcomes. The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) was the only source reasonable available due to their access to over

20.5 million donors and their capability in locating and providing allogenic HCT transplants within ten days.

Currently neither the government nor the SAMC transplant program retains the ability to perform a search for an unrelated allogenic HCT donor match in-house. Furthermore, there is not a contract vehicle currently in place the SAMMC could purchase against. As a result, a new contract vehicle was required for this requirement.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: A Notice oflntent to Sole Source was posted to FBO on 25 Nov 2019 allowing vendors to submit their capabilities for consideration for future requirements. In addition, an FBO posing will be executed with an open window of sixty (60) days to identify their capabilities for consideration on future requirements.

7. Market Survey: Market Research and personal knowledge reveals there is only one (I) source with the capabilities to reach International donors. Other vendors do exist, however, their donor search has limited reach to certain demographics of the patients and geographic regions.
