Description

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: 678-15-3-616-12331A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER N/A1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $27,316.12 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: The Southern Arizona VAHCS is requesting the EMERGENCY purchase of one-hundred (100) straps and twelve (12) Voyager PCBA Assemblies. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: This award is being made pursuant to FAR 6.302-2 Unusual and Compelling Urgency. There are many straps that have failed inspection due to being frayed and must be replaced to bring the lift back into safe working condition. The PCBA assemblies are another part of the motor that need replaced to bring the patient lift systems back in to service. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: ArjoHuntleigh, Inc. is the manufacturer of the required items and as such is in the best position to provide the items in a timely manner. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Per FAR 13.106-3(a)(2)(ii), bases on comparison of the proposed prices with prices found reasonable on previous purchases, and per FAR 13.106-3(a) (2) (iv), based on a comparison with similar items in a related industry and prior purchases from other VA hospitals the price is determined to be fair and reasonable. This procurement is being placed as an open market item since the required services are not available from agent inventories, or under a GSA or NAC Schedule. This requirement has been provided for the Southern Arizona VAMC under the open market pursuant to FAR 6.302-2 Unusual and Compelling Urgency and as such was exempt from competition. Additionally, a search of FPDS revealed the following purchases made using the same NAICS code (339113) and PSC code (6515) as is being used for the current requirement and were awarded to ArjoHuntleigh, Inc.: oThe Department of Veterans Affairs issued a purchase order in the amount of $33,601.45 on 1 October 2010 oThe Department of Veterans Affairs issued a purchase order in the amount of $21,731.36 on 15 June 2011 oThe Department of Veterans Affairs issued a purchase order in the amount of $34,833.88 on 29 August 2011 oThe Department of the Air Force issues a purchase order in the amount of $26,980.00 on 25 September 2013 oThe Department of Veterans Affairs issued a purchase order in the amount of $53,960.00 on 23 April 2014 6. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Signature: ______________________________ Date:____________________ Name: Douglas J.
