Â§ 1901 and is implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) for restricting competition on this procurement. Â Competition is restricted on this procurement for the reason below:

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (XÂ )Â Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (Â )Â Unusual and Compelling Urgency

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (Â ) Â Industrial Mobilization, Engineering, Developmental or Research Capability or Expert Services

Demonstration that the Contractor s Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority): Only Ventana reagents and supplies are specific to the current system at the Dayton VA Medical Center. Roche is uniquely qualified to provide these kits and materials based on the following:

Accordingly, Roche Diagnostics, is the only firm capable of providing the supplies and services described in Section Three above without the Veteran s Health Administration experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition.

Description of Efforts Made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as deemed practicable: A search of the internet, the NAC and GSA were completed. There is only one large business contractor that can provide the necessary kits and materials, Roche. Roche is the sole provider and does not have any distributors. In addition, VIP was searched using NAICS 334516 which resulted in 118 vendors. The adding of keywords resulted in 74 vendors. As stated above Roche is the sole provider so the VA Rule of Two is Unattainable.

Determination by the CO that the Anticipated Cost to the Government will be Fair and Reasonable: The anticipated cost will be considered fair and reasonable based on the comparison to like or similar requirements, to the IGCE, published pricing and prior acquisitions.

Description of the Market Research Conducted and the Results, or a Statement of the Reasons Market Research Was Not Conducted: Market research was conducted by the Contracting Officer and the Laboratory staff to identify available sources to meet the requirements. Based on the results of market research, the government determined that there is only one contractor, a large business, that is available to provide the reagents and supplies for the Ventana Benchmark Ultra and Benchmark Special Staining System.

Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other than Full and Open Competition: Ventana s patented kits and reagents possess the specifications required to fill this requirement.

Listing of Sources that Expressed, in Writing, an Interest in the Acquisition:
