(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; OR

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

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

5. Reason for Authority Cited: Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) has a requirement to purchase cervical surgical supplies for surgical procedures scheduled from 1 November 2019 through 31 April 2020 with Dr. Andrew Cleveland. These procedures are prescribed to meet patient specific surgical needs. The Seaspine Shoreline Anterior Cervical Standalone System is designed to deliver maximum flexibility and modularity, offering zero-and-low-profile plating options, including two, three and four hole variations, as well as 10 and 15 degree lordotic implants. This selection provides surgeons the ability to intraoperatively address a wide range of anatomy, surgical situations or bone.

In addition, TruProfile technology offers a low profile plate design at 1.6mm thickness, minimizing the profile on the anterior aspect of the spine and minimizing cephalad caudal encroachment of adjacent segments. These products cannot be purchased ahead of time due to the large amount of stock required to have on hand for each procedure. It would not be possible to determine what sizes will be required for purchase prior to the patient being on the operating room table as the surgeon looks at the patients anatomy intraoperatively. Size is always determined this way to ensure the best fit for the patient. Failure to provide the needed supplies for these surgeries will result in diminished healthcare for the patients.
