Contract & Timeline
- Contract Opportunity Type: Justification
- Estimated Value: $499,500.54
- Proposed Contractor: Sierra7, Inc.
- Justification Basis: FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B) - Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required because they are unique or highly specialized, and FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C) - Logical follow-on to an original FSS order.

- Place of Performance: Columbia, MO
Rationale for Limited Sources
Market research, including searches of GSA Global Supply, Interagency Contract Directory, NAC, High-Tech Medical Equipment database, Supply Chain Master Catalog, GSA eLibrary, GSA Advantage, and a Sources Sought Notice/RFI, indicated that while other ventilators exist, they either do not meet the specific technical requirements or would incur significant integration costs and delays with the existing EMR and Philips systems. The justification highlights an "urgent and compelling need" and the unique compatibility of the Draeger equipment with the current medical infrastructure.
