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: VA256-16-AP- 114101A. PROJECT/TASK No.1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $10,820.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Courier service for Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) affiliated with Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System (CAVHS) located in Russellville, AR, Searcy, AR, Conway, AR, El Dorado, AR, Mena, AR, Hot Springs, AR, Pine Bluff, AR, Mt. Home, AR, and delivery of supplies to the same CBOCs. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: This is a temporary contract to allow sufficient time to solicit for a base year and four option years of courier services. Due to delays in receiving a technical and legal review of the solicitation, this temporary contract is necessary to maintain patient care. The vendor has performed these services in the past. Xpress Courier Service, Inc. has acceptable past performance. 4. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Due to the short time to award this contract, little market research was attempted. There are no other local vendors in this area capable of performing this service on short notice. More thorough market research has been accomplished for the base + four pending solicitation. 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. Digitally signed by Bailey M.
