Description

JUSTIFICATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS IAW FAR 13.106-1 (OVER MICRO-PURCHASE THRESHOLD($3.5K) 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-33361A. PROJECT/TASK No. N/A1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $15,300.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: This request is for replacement of expendable/sub-components of a Real-Time Equipment location system presently in-place at the Indianapolis facility. We require an additional 300 pcs. Of the Multi-mode Asset tags (low frequency) part number ITD-761E-G Centrak, Inc., 125 Pheasant Run, Newtown, PA 18940 Delivery Date: May 27, 2016 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: These tags are the only tags that are compatible with the hospital's asset tracking/location system due to their design & frequency generation. The Parent system of this equipment tracing assembly was fully competed in accordance with the FAR/VAAR. There is no substitute for any other brand name unit tags that would work with the system presently in-place at this facility; this request is for the replenishment of the individual tags attached to hospital equipment. These tags do not have replaceable batteries, and must be replaced when the power source of the frequency generating electronics has reached the end of its life span. 4. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Market research was conducted in the purchasing of the Parent Unit; once this had been awarded, it was known at the time of the awarding that, 1) individual sensor units would need to be replaced, and 2) that no other brand/MFGs tags would work with this system. 5. 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.
