Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

EMERGENCY ORDER due to COVID-19. Due to the emergent nature and the market conditions, Fidelis Sustainability Distribution has the items available immediately and are able to complete the order quickly. The VAAAHS s current fleet of ventilators are the Getinge Servo-U ventilator. It is imperative that the purchase be Servo ventilators to allow the staff the ability to use the ventilators immediately with minimal training. This purchase of the Servo-U ventilators is being procured on a sole source basis due to this being a state-of-the-art ventilator. Contracting Officer's determination to make a sole source SDVOSB award is a business decision in support of the declared National Emergency.

Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Due to the emergent nature of this acquisition (COVID-19), time did not permit for much market research. I searched VIP, GSA and NAC. GSA and NAC showed one other vendor with these items, however, due to the emergent nature and the market conditions, Fidelis Sustainability Distribution has the items available immediately and are able to complete the order quickly. Additionally, Fidelis Sustainability Distribution is a SDVOSB.

Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
