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: 553-15-4-103-31401A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER N/A1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $3613.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: These Stryker Corporation instruments are loaner trays/disposables used in a surgery case scheduled at this facility. These instruments were used for a Bilateral Total Knee Replacement Case. Instruments needed/requested for this case are as follows: Precision Tibial Kit, Femoral Prep Kit Size 7, Tibial prep kit size 8, Fluted Headless Pins, Distal Resection Guide. Stryker Corporation, 3800 E. Centre Ave., Portage, MI 49002 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: These Stryker Corporation instruments were requested by Dr. Omari, the surgeon for this surgery case, as these are the only instruments this doctor prefers to use for this particular type of Bilateral Total Knee Replacement in order to conduct the surgery properly. The order was originally procured under purchase card PO 553-Q55634. After the surgery, the total exceeded the purchase card limit and had to come to contracting for a purchase order. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: These Stryker Corporation instruments were requested by Dr. Omari, the surgeon for this surgery case, as these are the only instruments this doctor prefers to use for this particular type of Bilateral Total Knee Replacement in order to conduct the surgery properly. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Instrumentation used in surgery cases are requested by the surgeon conducting the surgery case. These Stryker Corporation instruments are the only instruments that can be used for this particular type of surgery as other instrumentation will not suffice. 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.
