HD-X02 Implant Exchange for Sleep Recording
Rationale/ Salient Characteristics
The essential characteristics of the sleep recording implants exchange and recharge that limit the availability to a sole source are that we have an existing system and we need to extend our system based on that. Only this suggested source can furnish the requirements, to the exclusion of other sources, because this is the only compatible one to our already existing system.

The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. The current equipment is a Sleep Recording System, and the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system by installation.

The new items are "direct replacement" parts / components for existing equipment.
Single-Sole Source Determination
I hereby determine that the sleep recording implants exchange and recharge listed herein is available from only one source, and competition is precluded for the reasons indicated below. There are no substitutes available.

This acquisition is restricted to:

Background/Description of Requirement
Hattar lab is interested in dissecting retina-brain neural circuits that regulates sleep. Our work relies heavily on sleep recording in mice. Hattar Lab has purchased sleep recording system from Data Sciences Internationals before. Since now we need to extend our sleep study using the same system, we need to exchange DSI HD-X02 Implants for recharging. Therefore, this purchase will be a sole source one.
