Quotient Biodiagnostics is the current Drop shipment supplier of our 3% reagent red cells used in manual tube testing for blood typing and crossmatching. Their products have been tested & validated in our procedures to meet AABB, CAP and FDA regulatory agencies. Without a continued drop shipment supply, we will not be able to perform blood testing on our patients and subsequently expedite the transfusion of blood products. Procurement of these reagents and supplies is needed to support the testing of samples and for proper diagnosis of patients. This requirement is conducted on an emergency basis, as no continuous order is placed for the facility, and there is a need for the next shipment to begin immediately, so that no delays will occur that would negatively impact patient care. Drop shipments will occur for blood bank reagent supplies will be for the performance period of April 1, 2015 through September 30, 2015. These items are all on FSS contract. These items are particular this one manufacture and must also be only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. The primary purpose of this sole source justification is for an emergency need, but will also identify the one sole source is required. The emergency contract is for one contract, and options are not included. The items are listed below: 3.Authority: ORDER AGAINST FSS: Authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program, Title III of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 USC 251, et seq.); Title 40 USC 501, Services for Executive Agencies; and Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 (PL 107-107) and implemented by FAR 8.405-6. Mark the applicable exception: 1 An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A); 0 Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B)) or 0 In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures. (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) 4.Rational/explanation to support cited authority: If the (CAVHS), McClellan Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Little Rock, AR does not receive the new contract for drop shipment of the reagents supplies in a timely and uninterrupted manner, the Blood Bank within the facility willnot be able to provide blood products to the veteran patients and the facility would be at risk of the FDA closing the Blood Bank at this VA location. Reagent supplies contract is needed as an emergency, in order for shipment to begin, and delivery to be on time. This contract is also conducted for the supplies from the one responsible source, as the reagents and supplies for the equipment are specific. Quotient is also the supplier of various specialty antisera used in antigen typing procedures which are FDA licensed. As an FDA registered facility, CAVHS is required by CFR21 to use FDA licensed antisera. Availability of antisera may be limited to market demand, human donor sources and manufacturing constraints. Currantly three vendors on FSS contract that carry most of the major blood bank reagents, however this vendor is the sole source for the rare monoclonal reagents in order to meet the needs of our veterans. 5.BRAND NAME ONLY: This buy is estimated to exceed $25,000 and this documentation will be posted along with the RFQ on e-Buy, as required by FAR 8.405-6(b)(3). This requirement is needed on an emergency basis. 6.Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules. DENA YOUNG Contracting Officer Date: 3/26/2015
