Justification & Evaluation
The procurement was justified as a sole source due to Hemosonics, LLC being the OEM and the only vendor capable of providing the required proprietary supplies and services for the Quantra analyzer. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice issued in November 2025, yielded no responses from other vendors capable of meeting the requirements. The government determined that restricting competition to Hemosonics, LLC was necessary to ensure continuity of care and proper functioning of the critical medical equipment.
