JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION SDVOSB Sole Source FOR Stryker In Touch 2140 Beds, for Hines VA VA-69D-11-RQ-0786 1.Identification of the Agency and the Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Great Lakes Acquisition Center, 5000 W National Avenue Bldg 5, Milwaukee WI 53295 2.Nature and/or description of the action being approved: Justification and approval for other than full and open competition for the purchase of 14 complete Stryker In Touch beds. This procurement will proceed on a sole source basis with Alliant Healthcare. 3.A description of supplies/services required (including the estimated value): The VA Hospital in Hines, IL, has a requirement for 14 complete Stryker In Touch beds. The approximate cost is $354,617.20 4.Statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition: FAR 6.302-1. The VA's minimum needs can only be satisfied by unique supplies or services available from only one source. (41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1)) Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. 5.Facilities Unique Qualifications: The VA Hospital in Hines, IL requires this service because it is essential for patient care. The Stryker In Touch Bed frame is the only product that has the capability to interface with the Stryker XPRT mattress which our hospital currently owns ($14,000 Each, $196,000 Total Value) This is a specialty mattress that provides respiratory support, pulmonary rotation, vibration, percussion, and turn assist; It also provides a loss system for skin care. The Stryker In Touch Bed frame is the only known bed frame that will interface (has built in controls) with the hospital owned XPRT mattresses. 6.Efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable: This SSJ will be posted to FBO. If a company can provide the same item they should provide a compatibility statement. If a company can provide 14 complete systems to include mattresses at the same cost consideration will be given. 7.Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable: Market research conducted. 8.Market survey conducted: checked Vetbizops and GSA. Nothing found compatable. 9.Other facts: Consideration will be given to any company that can provide a complete system to include frame and bed and all associated equipment to fulfill our requirement at the dollar amount given in para 3. This purchase will eliminate the costs to the hospital of leases. 10.Other sources expressing an interest: None sought 11.Actions to remove or overcome any barriers to competition: None, as there are no known companies able to provide the required equipment. 12.Certification: I certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge, based on historical data going back well over ten years.
