FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays: FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(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. Computrition, Inc. is the only company able to provide software upgrades and equipment maintenance on the current equipment located at each of the facilities. Changing vendors would disrupt the operability and functionality of services and meals to our patients. Furthermore, any changes in the vendor would result in increased costs to the government. FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited source procedures. FAR 8.405-6(b): Items peculiar to one manufacturer: A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: These are direct replacements parts/components for existing equipment. The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe Why You Believe the Order Represents the Best Value consistent with FAR 8.404(d) to aid the contracting officer in making this best value determination: The Computrition System is currently in use at VISN2 facilities changing to a different vendor would increase costs to the government. VISN2 intends to combine into one VISN BPA which would increase cost savings. Furthermore, purchase will be via GSA FSS contract whose pricing has been determined to be fair and reasonable.
