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: 678-16-6-071-02391A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER N/A1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $45,000.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: The total estimated cost of the requirement is $45,000.00 and consists of the following items: 1. OTOFLEX 100 16L X 13W(IN) DIAGNOSTIC MIDDLE EAR ANALYZER - 6 each 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: Market research revealed that a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) exists that can fulfill the requirement. Pursuant to VAAR 806.302-5-70 and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(5) as authorized by 38 U.S.C. 8127(b) the requirement will be completed as a sole source requirement to Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions (VHSS) (DUNS: 964899483). VHSS is a certified SDVOSB in Vetbiz VIP. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: The equipment is manufactured by Audiology Systems and available through SDVOSB vendor VHSS as cited above. In accordance the above-cited authority a sole source to VHSS is permitted. An RFI was posted to FBO on 25 July 2016 and closed 29 July 2016 seeking additional veteran-owned small businesses and only VHSS responded. Additionally the manufacturer confirmed that VHSS is a distributor of the required equipment. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Market research was conducted pursuant to FAR Part 10 and no additional sources were located that were able to supply the required items. The following awards were located in an FPDS search and were made under the same NAICS (339112) code and PSC (6515) code utilized in this transaction and were awarded to VHSS: "The Department of Veterans Affairs issued a purchase order in the amount of $40,223.33 on 27 July 2016 "The Department of Veterans Affairs issued a purchase order in the amount of $52,333.00 on 27 July 2016 "The Department of Veterans Affairs issued a purchase order in the amount of $48,006.32 on 18 July 2016 "The Department of Veterans Affairs issued a purchase order in the amount of $35,188.00 on 11 July 2016 "The Department of Veterans Affairs issued a purchase order in the amount of $46,720.54 on 8 July 2016 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.
