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: 655-15-4-113-09541A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER N/A 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $ 15,000.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Replacement and installation of x-ray tube for Bone Densitometer (EE#24776, SN: 84118). We currently have a service contract with the OEM (Hologic) but it does not cover x-ray tube replacement. Hologic, Inc., 35 Crosby Drive, Bedford, MA 01730 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: EMERGENCY ORDER - The VA only owns one Bone Densitometer and Radiology is currently rescheduling patients on an almost daily basis (because its unknown when this system will be up and running). They have already had to turn some patients away when the unit first broke down. OEM was called in for repair (under contract, 655C50022) and diagnosed problem. OEM currently has part in stock and is awaiting PO to expedite shipping of x-ray tube. Repair is required as soon as possible to prevent further delay in patient care delivery. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: Proprietary software that is only accessible through OEM trained personnel. Also software updates needed are only provided by the OEM. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Market research was not conducted due to the urgent nature of the request and the proprietary software. 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.
