Set-Aside & Justification
This was a sole-source award to Natus Medical Incorporated, justified by their status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only FSS contract holder identified for the specific equipment and software required. Market research conducted did not identify any Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), or other small businesses capable of meeting the unique requirements for Cerner EHRM compatibility.
Additional Information
A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was previously issued, allowing interested parties to demonstrate their capability to compete. The government reserved the right to verify capability information and determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, but ultimately proceeded with the sole-source award.
