Description

To whom it may concern; The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to enter into a purchase agreement with VENDOR: ARTHREX, 2885 SOUTH HORSESHOE DR, NAPLES, FL 34104. ARTHREX a Large business is the manufacture and sole qualified distributor of the ARTHROSCOPY INSTRUMENTS. The North American Classification System (NAICS) code is 339112. Any interested parties who can identify their capabilities and interest and respond to the requirement and furnish detailed data concerning their capabilities to provide the product. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements must provide written notification to the Contracting Officer by September 28, 2015. Information should be sent to Sean Powers Contract Specialist at sean.powers2@va.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether this Item is indeed a sole source or if we can conduct a competitive requirement. If no responses are received by the response date and time, The Department of Veterans Affairs will proceed with the intended agreement. All questions concerning this requirement must be in writing and submitted via email to sean.powers2@va.gov. Service Disabled and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB and VOSB) contracting with VA are to be registered and certified in VetBiz if seeking consideration under PL 109-461 (www.vetbiz.gov - Vendor Information Pages - VIP). All contractors are required to be registered in the System for Award Management (www.samgov). Consult your State Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) for technical assistance with these requirements (http://www.dla.mil/db/procurem.htm). 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: 689-16- 1-7910-00211A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER None1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $61,790.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Purchase of surgical instruments for arthroscopic surgical procedures. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: These instruments are a complementary set to other instrumentation we already have from Arthrex for arthroscopic procedures. These instruments are not available from other vendors. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: There is a significant difference between these instruments and others on the market. The vendor has confirmed in writing that they are the only source for this instrumentation. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Market research showed no other source available. Vendor also has confirmed they are the only source, The paperwork has been provided to Contracting. 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.
