Description

This Amendment to the Previous Combined Solicitation is to include the below Justification for Single Source Awards. An executed copy is available upon request. 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: VA250-17-AP-1001 1A. PROJECT/TASK No. N/A 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $84,500.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: The Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical (VAMC) intends to procure Philips IntelliVue Monitors and the associated item. This requirement will be awarded as a new contract as firm-fixed-price. Patient monitoring is vital to patient care in the Operating Room, Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and the Pre-Operative area. Patient Monitors are attached to each anesthesia machine and are utilized at each Pre-Operative and PACU bed. The monitoring of vital parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oximetry and respiratory rates are necessary for patient care. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: Currently the Philips Healthcare s Patient Monitoring system is being used by the VAMC Cleveland. All of the nursing floors along with the operating rooms at both Wade Park and the Ambulatory Surgery Center utilize these monitors. Utilizing the Philips Monitors are necessary to the facility, as there are modules and attachments that have to be moved with a patient when they are transported from the Operating Room to the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) or when a patient is moved from the PACU to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU). Due to the facility currently using the Philips Patient Monitoring system, these patient modules can be plugged into any monitor throughout the hospital and work. It would harm clinical care if the VAMC Cleveland had patient monitoring systems from multiple vendors throughout the hospital because the modules and attachments would not be compatible with all patient monitors. The Philips Healthcare Patient Monitoring system used by VAMC Cleveland is the only patient monitor compatible with its current supply of patient modules. The Philips Monitoring system is essential to this requirement, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. 4. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: A sources Sought was issued on November 23, 2016 as VA250-17-Q-0124. The synopsis inquired if there are firms capable of providing the requirements as listed above in Section 2. Responses were received stating that firms are capable of providing the listed requirements. 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. Signature: ______________________________ Date: 12/05/2016 Name: Gina P. Crank Title: Contracting Officer NCO: 10
