    The document outlines a request for the procurement of two ClearSight upgrade kits for the Hemosphere system at David Grant Medical Center. Due to the proprietary technology of these kits, only Edwards Life Sciences and 1st American Medical Distributors, Inc. can supply and install the required equipment. A sources sought notice was issued on SAM.gov, confirming interest from both vendors, aligning with past contract actions where these two suppliers were consistently chosen for similar requirements. The document highlights that the single-source procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), indicating no alternative vendors can meet the needs due to the specialized nature of the upgrades. The contracting officer, Maekyla Jane S. Rosendo, GS-12, states the necessity of this approach until the equipment at the facility is replaced, reinforcing the challenges in fostering competition for this specific technology. This procurement process emphasizes the restrictions due to proprietary technology, which limits alternatives in sourcing necessary medical upgrades.
