Description
Chapter VI: Other Than Full and Open Competition (OFOC) SOP Attachment 4: Single Source Justification for SAP under $150K OFOC SOP Revision 05 Page 1 of 1 Original Date: 03/22/11 Revision 05 Date: 05/02/2016 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: VA244-17-AP-5382 1A. PROJECT/TASK No. 642-17-3-025-1042 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $16,205.75 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is seeking to purchase gynecology (GYN) test kits and slide library to prepare GYN samples to make microscope slides for cytotechnologist and pathologist to interpret the slides for cancer. The reagents and slide library are proprietary and can only be used with BD SUREPATH PREPSTAIN instrument which is owned by the VA. The transaction is 642-17-3-025-1042. These reagents and slide library are the only compatible reagents that can be used to perform patient slides for interpretation. The estimated value of this order is $15,955.75 with an additional $250.00 allocated to cover estimated shipping charges. BD Diagnostics (DUNS# 122561087) can provide these required items. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: Since the existing equipment is already in place, we must use these reagent kits and slide library to prepare the slides for interpretation. No other vendor s reagent kits or slide library can be used to make the slides on this equipment. 4. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Contracting Officer (CO) issued two separate RFIs on GSA e-Buy seeking existing FSS holders to include two VOSBs that could supply the required items. All respondents including the two VOSBs provided no quotes stating that they could not supply the required test kits and slide library. 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.
