NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 811219 with a Size Standard of $19,000,000. REGULATORY AUTHORITY The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-76 dated December 26, 2014.

Contracts awarded using FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6-Competition Requirements.

Project Description The Contractor's maintenance agreement includes OEM replacement parts, labor, service support, and system updates from authorized Siemens technicians. CONTRACTING WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME) DETERMINATION The determination by the Government to award a contract without providing for full and open competition is based upon the market research conducted. Specifically, Siemens Medical Solutions is the manufacturer of the MicroPET Focus 120 and MicroPET Focus 220 animal scanners and is the only authorized company to perform maintenance on these scanners. Siemens Medical Solutions is the only vendor with the required expertise and OEM replacement parts capable of responding when service is required. Only Siemens service personnel are authorized to perform service and maintenance on their equipment. Unauthorized personnel who perform any maintenance on this Government-owned MRI scanner would ultimately void the warranty of this MRI scanner.
