- Description
- This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because the procurement is awarded to a sole source under the Test Program for Certain Commercial Items (FAR 13.5). See posted J&A for further information. PRIORITY 3 ACQUISITION MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION BELOW THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD 1. Contracting Agency: Southern Regional Contracting Office, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234 2. Description of Action: Urgent procurement of Epicel-CEA skin grafts needed for a non-routine surgery. 3. Description of Products/Services: Epicel-CEA are sheets of skin cells ranging from 2 to 8 cell layers thick. The grafts are grown or cultured from a sample of patient's own healthy skin. 4. Authority Cited: -Pursuant to FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting competition. For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officer may solicit from one source if the contracint officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency). -Pursuant to FAR Part 5.202(a)(2), Exceptions. The unusual and compelling requirement will not be advertised. -Pursuant to FAR Part 13.106(c)(1), Soliciting competition. Price and availability will be obtained telephonically. 5. Reason for Cited Authority: The above statutory authority is cited because this is a true, urgent request that has been verified by Darlena Rivera on 19 Apr 2013. The Epicel Skin grafts are lab grown epidermal tissue that requires at least nine days notice to prepare and schedule for arrival. These skin grafts must be received for this one-time, non-routine surgery by 29 Apr 2013. If the physician does not have these skin grafts for the surgery, it could be detrimental to the patient's life as well as the hospital's overall medical mission. 6. Contracting Officer Certification: I certify this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
