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. ACQUISITION PLAN ACTION ID: VA251-16-AP-11241A. PROJECT/TASK No. N/A1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $39,515.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System The Siemens Gamma failed on December 8, 2015. This Gamma camera is used to detect cancerous cells whose images are ready by a physician. A patient is requiring a gamma camera scan before his surgery on the 22nd, and with the holidays, this computer system will not be read in time without emergency funds. The PC needs a complete replacing by Siemens in order for VA Ann Arbor to maintain the hard drives within to keep VA patient health information. It is VA policy to retain all hard drives and thus required to purchase the entire PC. Siemens Gamma unit - 1 Each Date required: December 16, 2015. Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, 500 GBC Dr., Newark, DE 19702. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: Emergency order - If these items are not received immediately, cases will have to be cancelled and patient care will be negatively affected. Siemens is the manufacturer of this item and will provide correct parts and service on this unit. Third parties will void the specifications of the system on the 510k approval where Siemens would no longer support the system and VA Ann Arbor would absorb all liability. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: Siemens Gamma camera is manufactured only by Siemens. There are no other alternatives to replacing the imaging workstation with another vendor. Siemens equipment is proprietary and only they are able to service it. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: No market research was conducted due to urgent nature of the procurement and the proprietary hardware and software required for unit to be fully functional. 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. Note: COs are required to make a determination of price reasonableness IAW FAR 13.106-3. See the Commercial Supply and Service SOP for Price Reasonableness templates.
