This action is detailed under Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C250-25-AP-0967, justified by several regulatory authorities, notably FAR 8.405-6, which permits limiting sources under specific circumstances.

The integration of the v3 upgrade is essential for maintaining compliance with Cerner standards, as it replaces outdated v2 equipment. Procurement aligns with previous Federal Supply Schedule orders, ensuring consistency in care and operational reliability. The request confirms that no solicitation will be made, as the limitations fit FAR regulations and the estimated delivery date is set for February 17, 2025.
