DETERMINATION & FINDINGS FOR OTHER THAN FULL & OPEN COMPETITION

(ACTIONS SAT AND BELOW)

1. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROCUREMENT: VisionPort Handheld Visualization and Access System

2. PROPOSED CONTRACTOR/MANUFACTURER: New View Surgical

3. ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE: $98,000

4. STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING CONTRACTING WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL

AND OPEN COMPETITION: The statutory authority permitting sole source is 41 USC 1901(e), implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i):

_X_ Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements

___ Unusual and Compelling Urgency ___ Industrial Mobilization; Engineering, Developmental, or Research Capability; or Expert

Services ___ International Agreement ___ Authorized or Required by Statute ___ National Security ___ Public Interest

5. JUSTIFICATION FOR THE AUTHORITY CITED ABOVE:

The item(s) listed in section one above is available from only one source and competition is precluded for reasons indicated below. There are no substitutes available.

___ Compatibility: The item(s) must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system:

_X_ Proprietary: A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data are described as follows:

The VisionPort Handheld Visualization and Access System contains laparoscopic ports would include a camera within the port. This would reduce the number of ports needed to complete an operation. This would also allow the surgeon to work without needing an assistant to operate the camera for visualization. Having a camera on different ports would allow the surgeon to have at least 2 angles of vision without having to move the camera to a different port.

The port would also allow insufflation gas to keep the cavity insufflated for surgery.

The camera, light cord, and insufflation would be on a small platform, roughly 8 x 10 x 4 inches.

The system, therefore, would be easier to transport, would not need as much equipment, and would be ideal for use in austere or humanitarian missions.

___ Experimental Continuity: The item(s) must be consistent with prior materials in order to ensure experimental continuity. Describe the conditions that necessitate the use of experimental continuity:

___ Warranty: Purchasing item(s) from another manufacturer/provider would void existing warranty. Provide a brief explanation for the use of this reason and the impact that would occur if the item was purchased from another manufacturer/provider:

___ Direct Replacement: These are “direct replacement” parts/components for existing equipment and no substitutes exist.

___ Other reasoning to support a sole-source buy:

6. FAIR AND REASONABLE PRICE DETERMINATION:

It has been determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable and that approval of this recommendation is in the best interest of the government. This justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
