Description

Page 1 of 2 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: VA256-17-AP-5054 1A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER N/A 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $3180.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: The Spinal Pro Axis surgical table is used for complex surgeries of the spinal areas where a patient must not move or severe injuries such as paralysis or even death may occur. The pro Axis table manufactured by Mizuho OSI is the only such table on the premises. The table has an error code on its digital display and is out of service, preventing any and all spinal surgeries. The table needs to be serviced by the manufacturer. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: This is proprietary technology (US Patent 8826475) made and sold by Mizuho OSI requires factory personnel to service and calibrate the precision parameters after maintenance. Unqualified maintenance on this table poses extreme liability issues for Veterans Affairs and inherent danger to patients if not correctly repaired. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: Mizuho ISO is the manufacturer and servicer of its spinal pro axis surgical tables. It holds the patents of this extremely complex piece of equipment. The extreme risk involved with repair calibration this equipment is cost prohibitive for other small businesses. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Market research includes searching websites: GSA e buy. VA Advantage, small businesses and small disabled veteran owned businesses were queried. In addition, Bing, Google, VA NAC, and GSA for potential vendors that offer requested service. The manufacturer is listed in GSA and has a published contract on GSA contract # V797D-50376. DUNNS#084527241, that doesn t include services. 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. Digitally signed by Bailey M.
