- Description
- Chapter VI: Other Than Full and Open Competition (OFOC) SOP Attachment 4: Single Source Justification for SAP under $150K JUSTIFICATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS IAW FAR 13.106-1 (OVER MICRO-PURCHASE THRESHOLD($3K) BUT NOT EXCEEDING THE SAT ($150K)) IAW FAR13.104, COs must promote competition to the maximum extent practicable to obtain supplies and services from the source whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government, considering the administrative cost of the purchase. When competition is not practicable, IAW FAR13.106-1(b), COs solicit from a single source for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. COs may solicit from one source if the CO determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3),COs are required to include additional statements explaining the absence of competition (see 13.106-1 for brand name purchases) if only one source is solicited and the acquisition does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (does not apply to an acquisition of utility services available from only one source) or supporting the award decision if other than price-related factors were considered in selecting the supplier. This template when completed can be used to document single source awards IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3). Note: Statements such as "only known source" or "only source which can meet the required delivery date" are inadequate to support a sole source purchase. 1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER: 607-15-1-6023-0001 1A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER N/A 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: Base year $11,324.00 Contract total $35,273.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Service contract for maintenance of the 3M sterilizers used at the Madison VAMC, 2 each EtO sterilizers and 2 each EtO abators, with PM's done semi-annually. 2. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: 3M software is proprietary. Any deviation other than trained manufacturer personnel and OEM parts, could result in an adverse effect on the reliability of equipment. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: 3M has proprietary software. In order to maintain integrity of equipment, manufacturer trained technicians must perform service and maintenance; OEM parts must be used. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Contract Specialist performed an internet search for potential third party vendors to provide service work on EtO sterilizers manufactured by 3M (no vendor found). Called 3M service center (talked to Natalie Sanders) to establish a quote, the information provided was that Biomed personnel at Madison VAMC could be provided training (for a cost) to provide training to service these sterilizers, but 3M does not authorize or train third party contractor to perform the requested work/service. It was also verified that, although the equipment (and most parts) are under GSA contract, the actual service for this equipment is considered open market.
