This memorandum outlines the justification for using other than full and open competition for the procurement of a NASH Pumps VECTRA GL60 LRVAC DI (NASH U45) medical vacuum pump, critical for the operation of the Comfort during missions. According to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), competition may be limited if only one source is available due to factors like urgency or proprietary rights. NASH Pumps is identified as the sole source due to established proprietary rights and critical equipment requirements; this pump is essential for surgical operations on the Comfort. The document emphasizes that the equipment maintains compatibility with existing systems and is necessary to ensure patient safety during surgeries. Given the urgency of the situation and specialized nature of the equipment, the memorandum highlights that non-OEM alternatives are not feasible due to the lack of technical expertise regarding compatibility. Thus, a sole-source procurement under the simplified acquisition threshold is justified, ensuring the timely provision of these essential medical supplies.
