5. Reason for Authority Cited: The requested scopes are compatible with existing endoscopy video camera systems in place at WAMC. The items will be used with compatible equipment manufactured by the existing contractor (Karl Storz Endoscopy-America, Inc), to maintain standardization of equipment and familiarization. OLYMPUS and STRYKER have similar items to this request but they are not compatible with existing equipment currently in use. We are currently performing endoscopic procedures using a series of video cameras, flexible cystoscopes and Urethroscopes to visualize structure surfaces of the urinary tract. The pricing for the IGCE was determined by market research. There are no disposable consumables with this purchase. The Image1 S HX-P, Pendulum Head is a replacement request and is an essential equipment (TH111 IMAGE1 S HX-P, Pendulum Head, 1080P HD) for use with IMAGE1 S X-Link module, 10 each that is compatible with existing systems manufactured by the contractor which is currently in use, also to maintain equipment continuity. Failure to purchase these pendulum heads will result in the inability to use equipment which will result in a lack of patient care.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: Research other manufacturers, who meet the minimum essential characteristics and would be compatible with the existing camera systems currently in use.

This will be posted on FBO to increase competition. To-date, no contractors can provide and meet existing equipment requirements for the project.

Previous Contract or Purchase Order Number: W91YTZ-11-F-0049 or N/A Previously competed? N/A No Yes Previous authority for less than Full & Open Competition:

Through online website research. Research of other companies such as Olympus and Stryker that manufacturer endoscopy equipment similar to the requested item did not meet the minimum essential characteristics and were not compatible with existing equipment in use to maintain standardization. Quick market research using the NAICS Code 339113 and the Keywords “Pendulum Heads” resulted in the following:
