Justification for Sole Source
The acquisition was justified as a sole source due to the proprietary nature of the Spryson I-Portal™ eye tracking software and Spryson VEST™ data acquisition and analysis software, which are integral to the VA Research Department's ongoing studies. Market research, including GSA Advantage, VA NAC, and VA SAC catalogues, confirmed that Spryson America, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and distributor of this specific system, with no authorized resellers capable of providing compatible equipment. An "Intent to Sole Source" notice (36C26326Q0466) was posted on SAM.gov from March 14 to March 25, 2026, allowing other responsible sources to submit capabilities, but no competitive alternatives were identified.
