In-house resources, or the award of a new contract based on full and open competition after the exclusion of sources were both considered for this requirement. The PVAMC does not have the resources available to perform this service on their own, nor does it employ the required personnel to fill this need. As such, the facility requires testing and interpretation services from a reference laboratory that will be able to initiate specimen processing within 1 hour of specimen collection for all tests listed in the program Coagulation Testing, because coagulation and blood clotting disorders require immediate treatment and management. Patients are waiting for scheduled surgery or changes to medication doses. There are several contractors that are capable of providing the required coagulation and cancer testing; however OHSU is the only contractor that could be found that is capable of providing this one hour testing start time requirement. There is a sky bridge that connects PVAMC with OHSU. Delays in treatment and management of coagulation and blood clotting disorders are unacceptable for the prompt access of the VA, whereas immediate testing and resulting through a reference laboratory able to meet the 1 hour processing standard, furthers the goal of timely patient access. Delays in test results beyond 4-12 hours would typically result in canceled/delayed surgeries/treatments or serious negative consequences for patients with high risk factors (cancer, cardiovascular disease and serious health conditions). The expected turn-around time for coagulation tests results related to surgical procedures must be within 8 hours. Competition was sought for this requirement by posting a sources sought notice to FedBizOpps and to GSA e-Buy on 11-03-2016 with a closing date of 11-10-2016. GSA lists five Medical Laboratories, four of which are large business, and one of which is a small business (Cedar Diagnostics). The only businesses that could be found that showed any interest in this requirement was from the sources sought notice posted to GSA. Quest Diagnostics provided a capabilities statement, but stated they could not meet the testing start time of one hour after specimen collection. Cedar Diagnostics also provided a capabilities statement, but stated they could not meet the testing start time of one hour after specimen collection. Cedar challenged the one-hour requirement, and stated that it is not required. However, it is the PVAMC laboratory s medical opinion that the one hour test start time for the coagulation and cancer tests is required and professionally disagrees with Cedar s claims. PVAMC stated in a meeting with the Contract Specialist on 11-08-16 that they are standing behind the one-hour testing requirement. A review of services available from the Committee for Purchase from people who are blind or severely disabled (AbilityOne) showed this service could not be provided by from this source at this time. Research was conducted by searching the UNICOR website and reviewing the online FPI Schedule. UNICOR does not offer these services. Research was conducted by reviewing the online WSNC and VISN contracting vehicle listings. There was no BPA available for OHSU. Vets First does not apply. However, for market research purposes, VetBiz was reviewed using NAICS code 621511 for Washington and Oregon and revealed 6 matches. A review of their capabilities statements revealed that none can provide the specific services needed. As described above, market research, in accordance with FAR Part 10, was conducted by posting a sources sought notice to FedBizOpps and to GSA on 11-03-16. The sources sought number is VA260-17-N-0033. A capability statement was requested in the notice. In the event new or unknown medical evidence changes the professional medical opinion of the PVAMC laboratory, regarding specimen testing beginning within one hour of collection, this requirement may be able to be competed if the specimen testing start time is extended from one hour to a time long enough for other laboratories located elsewhere in the country to be able to provide the required reference laboratory services. PVAMC will continue to perform on going market research for other US labs acquiring the capabilities to perform these unique and challenging tests. Based upon the above information, there is a high level of confidence that no other qualified sources exist. Laboratory Corporation of America and Cedar Diagnostics hold a single award VISN 20 Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) for reference lab testing. In the event the one hour testing start time is changed, their BPAs could be used. Other interested concerns having the ability to furnish these services shall submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer no later than the closing date of this announcement. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist. This is NOT an RFQ. This does represent the Government s only written notice of this procurement. All responsible sources may submit a response which, if timely received, must be considered by the agency. The estimated/potential: $8,278,300.00 Place of Performance: Portland, OR ************************************************************************************* ************************************************************************************* This notice and any resulting contract or order conforms to the requirements in place through FAC 05-94/95 (effective 01-13-2017). All questions regarding this procurement shall be in writing, and addressed to Diana Curl at diana.curl@va.gov no later than 02/11/2017.
