The statutory exception permitting other than full and open competition for this acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1(c), brand name only. 5. Demonstration that the proposed contractor's unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited. Only one manufacturer, Richard Wolf Medical Instruments, can provide a lithotripsy system that meets the minimum requirements of the government. The Richard Wolf Piezolith 3000 is the only piezoelectric lithotripter currently available. Piezoelectric is a specific class of devices for extracorporeal lithotripsy; other device classes include electromagnetic and electrohydraulic. Piezoelectric lithotripsy is the only device class that does not require the services of an anesthesiologist and the use of anesthetic agents. This allows the procedure to be completed on an outpatient basis. The technology involved in piezoelectric lithotripsy minimizes tissue damage due to the small focal size of the piezoelectric elements. The focal size (2-8 mm) of the piezoelectric elements allows for minimal energy density, which allows for a more focused energy transmission while avoiding unnecessary exposure to surrounding tissue. The other device classes utilize focal sizes between 3-8 times greater, which leads to a higher energy density causing increased tissue damage, which leads to the requirement for additional anesthetics. The Piezolith 3000 is the only piezoelectric lithotripsy system currently available. The Piezolith 3000 is the only lithotripsy system that meets the minimum requirements of the government. 6. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable. Market research was performed, the results of which are in paragraph 8. This requirement will be posted to NECO and/or FedBizOpps in accordance with FAR 5.202. Form 02.4G.AB / TDP 12-304-13 Page 3 of 4 1 NOV 2012 7. Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The Contracting Officer shall determine the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this Justification and Approval will be fair and reasonable by conducting a price analysis before an award is made. In addition, the Government anticipates that the negotiated contract price will reflect a discount from the vendor's commercial price list and will be determined fair and reasonable 8. Description of the market survey conducted and the results, or a statement of the reasons a market survey was not conducted. Market research was conducted by technical experts in November 2012. This research consisted of reviews of previous procurements for these types of systems and a market survey through search engines of open market contractors and Federal Supply Schedule contractors. Search engines utilized include Google, Yahoo, MSN, and GSA Advantage. Besides Richard Wolf, three other manufacturers were identified that provide extracorporeal lithotripsy systems, but none meet the minimum requirements of the government. Dornier used to provide the HM3 lithotripter, which utilized electrohydraulic technology, but they no longer manufacture that system. Dornier currently provides the SII and Delta lithotripsy systems, but these systems are not piezoelectric systems, do not include focal size adjustment, and thus, do not meet the minimum requirements of the government. All of Dornier's systems are electromagnetic lithotripsy systems. Siemens provides the Lithoskop and Modularis, but both of these systems utilize electromagnetic technology and also do not include a focal size adjustment capability and do not meet the minimum requirements of the government. Storz-Medical provides the Modulith SLX-F2 system, but it is a electromagnetic system and is not capable of piezoelectric lithotripsy. The Modulith SLX-F2 does not meet the minimum requirements of the government. EDAP TMS had previously provided a piezoelectric system (LT01), but they have stopped manufacturing that system and now provide the Sonolith i-sys, which uses an alternative "electroconductive" shock wave source mechanism, and does not include piezoelectric capability. The Sonolith i-sys also is not capable of adjusting focal size. The Sonolith i-sys does not meet the minimum requirements of the government. Richard Wolf Medical Systems is the only manufacturer that is able to provide a system that meets the minimum requirements of the government. Additionally, the requirement was solicited under solicitation number N6264513R0002 for 30 days and no offers were received. Richard Wolf is the only manufacturer that can provide a system that meets the minimum requirements of the government. 9. Other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition. None. 10. Listing of Sources, if any, which expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition. One source has expressed a written interest in the acquisition. However, this particular source is not able to meet the minimum requirements of the government. This requirement will be posted Form 02.4G.AB / TDP 12-304-13 Page 4 of 4 1 NOV 2012 on FedBizOpps in accordance with FAR 5.202. Any sources expressing interest in response to the synopsis will receive consideration. 11. Statement of actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required. Future requirements will be synopsized in accordance with FAR 5.203
