- Description
- JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1)- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements VA Northern California Health Care System 3230 Peacekeeper Way, Bldg 209 McClellan CA 95652 Subject: Sole Source Procurement - Urethral Pathology Equipment, Purchase Request 662-10-4-096-0327 1. CONTRACTING ACTIVITY: Department of Veterans Affairs, Consolidated Contracting Activity-VISN 21. 2. DESCRIPTION OF ACTION: Purchase Request 662-10-4-096-0327, for Urethral Pathology Equipment. 3. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES: Request is for Urethral Pathology Equipment for the VASFMC Surgical Service. 4. AUTHORITY CITED: FAR 13.106(b) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirement: "When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for." 5. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED: Other manufacturers and distributors do not provide an endoscopy system with the camera at the tip of the endoscope. This provides superior image quality which results in improved treatment and diagnosis in Urology cases. VASF has previously purchased 7 identical INVISIO-FLEXIBLE URETEROSCOPES of the same model in FY 09. They connect to a viewing camera system made by the same vendor. Hence, the three units being purchased are compatible with those recently purchased. 6. EFFORTS MADE FOR SOLICITING FROM OTHER VENDORS: Efforts made couldn't locate other vendors that could supply all items under contract. There were several companies that were researched. Among them were Alveolus, Applied Medical Technology, Bard Access Systems, BARRx, Boston Scientific, ConMed, Hobbs Medical, etc. No other vendor's product connects to the current system. 7. FAIR AND REASONABLE COST DETERMINATION: A Price Negotiation Memorandum (PNM) will detail how the Government has determined that the anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable. 8. MARKET RESEARCH: The GSA website was reviewed for existing vendors providing stated requirements. It was determined there were GSA contracts available. Based on only one vendor that can provide an endoscope with a camera at the tip this purchase would need to be sole source. 9. SUPPORTING FACTS: VA San Francisco current system consists of seven identical scopes. Additional scopes are required due to patient load, and to allow sufficient time for sterile processing between patients. Currently Gyrus/ACMI (recently purchased by Olympus) is the only manufacture that provides an endoscope with a camera at the tip. 10. LISTING OF SOURCES: There are currently no other sources who have expressed interest in this acquisition. 11. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS: As new technology becomes available, review of the current system will be done to see if it can be replaced. This will be done in sufficient time to facilitate full and open competition. 12. CONTRACTING OFFICER: I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance which are included in the J&A are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
