The need arises from the unique and proprietary nature of the Panther systems, essential for HIV testing labs, as Hologic is the sole manufacturer and provider of necessary service parts and technical support. The justification cites urgency and the absence of other qualified vendors, noting that using non-certified sources could lead to instrument damage and testing delays. The document outlines the certification from program officials affirming the necessity of this sole source procurement, emphasizing that adherence to procurement regulations, specifically FAR 13.106-1(b) and FAR 8.405-6, warrants this action. The procurement request number is 00HCKBG-2025-90568, with all efforts made to identify alternative service providers proving unsuccessful due to Hologic's exclusivity in providing the required maintenance services and parts.
