- This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because there is only one responsible source due to patent or data rights requirements, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements (FAR 6.302-1). See posted J&A for further information. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION (Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13 Not Exceeding $150K) 1. Agency/Contracting Activity: MI CC-Ft Polk, LA 2.

STATdx supports the busy practicing radiologist by increasing speed, accuracy and diagnostic confidence in complex cases. STATdx streamlines workflow by reducing the time required to research and complete a difficult imaging analysis. STATdx is the largest and most comprehensive XML-based digital reference source exclusively designed for imaging in the world. Some of the features it provides are as follows: 1. Provides interactive evidence-based medicine reference for radiographic diagnosis 2. Provides immediate and concise anatomical and radiographic correlation of pathology 3.

Authority: Action using Simplified Acquisition Procedures ~ FAR 13.106-l(b) (1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that MICC-FPLA-15-08 the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization). 5. Reason for Authority Cited: This is a license renewal. Radiology at BJACH has utilized AMIRSYS STATdx for the past four years and is linked to the BJACH picture archives and internet system. The OIC, as well as the civilian radiologists who work there, are trained in STATdx. Potentially changing software would negatively impact mission accomplishment. It is our professional opinion that AMIRSYS STATdx is the best first imaging point-of-care, diagnostic clinical decision support system on the market. AMIRSYS STATdx is expert-based and statistically generated with the diagnoses that are ranked Common, Less Common, or Rare but important. The compare feature allows side-byside comparison of up to three diagnoses simultaneously. This streamlines workflow by reducing the time required to research and complete a difficult imaging analysis. 6. Actions to Increase Competition: An email was sent to 41 different vendors for market research purposes on 23 April 2015, asking if they are able to provide this license. Two responses were received; one from Elsevier Clinical Solutions (Amirsys) a large business and Unistar-Sparco Computers, Inc. a small business in the SBAs 8(a) program. 7. Market Research: Market research has shown that STATdx is proprietary software, developed and licensed by Elsevier Clinical Solutions (Amirsys), and that licensing of this software is only available through Elsevier Clinical Solutions (Amirsys). Unistar-Sparco Computers, Inc., an 8(a) firm, initially stated they could provide this requirement. On 07 May 2015, Unistar-Sparco Computers Inc, stated that they would not be able to compete for this requirement as they are not an authorized vendor for this particular software. 8. Procurement History: Previous Purchase Orders(s) or Contract(s): [g} Yes D No Purchase order or contract number:W9124E-14-P-0025 Was action competed? D Yes ~No If action was not competed, state the cited authority, summarize rationale: IA W FAR 13.106-1 (b )( 1 ), the action was not competed due to the fact that only one source was available to provide this mission-essential software. MICC-FPLA-15-08 9. Interested Sources: No other vendors have expressed interest in this acquisition nor have any unsolicited quotes been received regarding this acquisition. 10.
