- 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 for Epicel-CEA grafts. This action has an unusual and compelling urgency that could be detrimental to the patient's life as well as the hospital's overall medical mission. 3. Description of Products/Services: This requirement is for Epicel-CEA grafts needed for a patient in critical condition with over 50% total body surface area burns who will undergo surgery at San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC), FT Sam Houston, TX. 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 contracting 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 MS. Jackie Amaya, Burn Unit, OR and Janet Rindorf on 30 October 2013. The Epicel-CEA grafts must be laboratory grown and it takes nine days to prepare. These grafts are for a burn patient that is in critical condition and needs multiple surgeries. If the grafts are not grown and received as soon as possible, the patient's health will be compromised. 6. Contracting Officer Certification: I certify this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
