    The Medical Readiness Contracting Office-Pacific is requesting a sole-source purchase of three medical cadavers from Science Care Inc. for Madigan Army Medical Center's BEST and ASSET Surgical Training Course. Valued at $23,836.00, this acquisition, under FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures, is justified due to Science Care Inc. being the only source capable of meeting the urgent training requirements. Efforts to obtain competition were unsuccessful, as other solicited sources did not provide adequate offers or accept Army electronic payments. Market research, including a search of the Dynamic Small Business database, did not identify any other qualified small businesses. The procurement history indicates a previous non-competed award under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The cost is deemed fair and reasonable based on prior similar awards. This acquisition is critical for providing essential surgical skills training to graduating residents, contributing to the quality of patient care consistent with the US Army Medical Command and Defense Health Agency's mission.
