5. Reason for Authority Cited: William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC) Nephrology Department has a single reverse osmosis unit enabling hemodialysis service in the Intensive Care Unit and Medical-Surgical wards. The current unit is intermittently functional and there is limited maintenance support for this unit. When the RO machine is down for repair WBAMC cannot perform hemodialysis in the ICU or on the MED-SURG wards for patients whose condition does not allow transfer to hemodialysis unit. This procurement is a health and safety emergency action in direct support of patient care. Failure to obtain a reliable system affects the ability to dialyze critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and MED-SURG wards and all inpatient services.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: N/A

7. Market Survey: Market research conducted determined there are limited sources on the market capable of providing a FDA approved Portable Dialysis Reverse Osmosis Water System. Due to the urgency of need and risk of patient safety, WBAMC is seeking a sole source award to AmeriWater.

Vendor is capable of providing equipment within a two week timeline along with required staff and biomedical engineering training.
