The estimated cost for this requirement is $35,472.06. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Ideally, we were searching for high fidelity manikin. That would allow augmented reality in conjunction with manikin for this purpose. The technology in not in existence. Virtual reality is capable to meet the objective as related to patient comfort. Below are characteristics being sought: Portable Light weight User friendly set up and take down Utilized existing cleaning supplies within VAME Educational modules to accompany the hands-on training Modules are optional meaning practice can occur with or with their prior completion Ability to admin monitor the system and performance of learners Ability to track individual performance and usage of simulation equipment Ability to track individual proficiency of pelvic exam Simulation equipment monitors Anatomy identification Pressure from fingers/hand during manual exam Pressure from speculum during vaginal insertion and throughout exam Independent feedback to learner Ability for use as precepted trainer and as independent continuing education.

A search on VIP found 48 SDVOSB/VOSB vendors, an email was sent out on 5/10/23 and after week only 6 vendors replied confirming they cannot meet the requirement. A search on SBA DSBS revealed no potential vendors. Due to this, the rule of two cannot be met since no SDVOSB or VOSBs can meet this requirement. A search on GSA found no vendors able to meet this requirement. A search on FPDS-NG revealed one vender BitterFboNotice Services & Technology, LLC that is an SDVOSB that provided similar equipment and provided a quote 3% more. Due to not finding any results on these three data bases, no small businesses were found. The customer has sole sourced this requirement to large business Surgical Science /Simbionix due to not finding any other business that can meet this requirement. Simbionix was the only vendor found to have a medium fidelity pelvic exam simulator identified. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. ____________________________ ________________________ Name Date Title
