4. Authority Cited:

(a) FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i): Only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreement, brand name or industrial mobilization); Refractive Surgery

(b) FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii): Only one source can provide a portion of the purchase that is a particular brand-name item; Refractive Surgery

(c) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays; Refractive Surgery

(d) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B): Only one source is capable of providing the equipment or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; Refractive Surgery

(e) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), this requirement will be solicited as a brand name or equal requirement. Pentacam AXL, Oculus is the only brand name system that is currently used throughout the Blanchfield Hospital, standardizing equipment and streamlining maintenance contracts. Failure to provide this equipment will result in closing the warfighter refractive clinic. This equipment is the standard of care for all refractive surgery patients.

No refractive center in DOD operates without this equipment.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: This Brand Name Justification will be posted with the solicitation on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website. No additional action will be taken to increase competition for this requirement.

7. Market Survey: Market Research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10. At least two small business concerns could provide this requirement. The customer contacted the Ray Spencer representative via email on 15 June 2018 and was notified on 15 June 2018 that they could not provide this as it was sold directly by the vendor. Searched GSA and the internet. The manufacturer Oculus, LLC is the sole vendor of this Pentacam AXL, however the requirement will be solicited as brand name or equal. The SBA Non-manufacturing rule only applies over $25K, thus the requirement is exempt.

8. Procurement History:
