Description

Notice of Intent to Sole Source DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Justification and Approval For Other Than Full and Open Competition Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 22, Los Angeles Medical Center Nature and/or Description of the Action Being Processed: This justification is for a request for a sole source purchase order on the open market for custom surgical packs from Geo-Med manufactured by Medline. The request is being made to ensure adequate supply while a formal contract is being created. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Description of Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency s Needs: The Los Angeles Healthcare System is requesting custom surgical packs to cover a time period of approximately three months. These surgical packs contain surgical supplies specific to the Healthcare System s requests and will be used for a number of surgeries currently scheduled. The following serve as a schedule of items: Manufacturer Source Part Number Pack Description Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682454O ARTHROSCOPY Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682475Q CATARACT Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682496N CYSTO Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682534K CUSTOM-PACK-DENTAL Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682582U INGUINAL,HERNIA Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682629O LAPAROSCOPY,PPS-LF Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682662R MAJOR,MAVAD Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682698P MINOR-PV Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682858Q PODIATRY-PV Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682720T NEURO-PV Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682763AAA OPEN HEART,OHVAD Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682800S ORTHO Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682837O ENT,PLASTIC Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682890S TOTAL JOINT Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682917Q TURP/PV Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682959R VASCULAR PACK Medline GeoMed DYNJ9137096O HAND-PV Medline GeoMed DYNJ9682970S VASCULAR EXTREMITY, Medline GeoMed DYNJAA10511 ANESTHESIA Statutory Authority Permitting Other than Full and Open Competition: (x) Only one responsible source per FAR 6.302-1; Demonstration that the Contractor s Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority): FAR 6.302-1 allows for Other than Full and Open Competition when: the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Currently, a formal contract for these products is under construction. The Los Angeles Healthcare System estimates that it will require these surgical kits to provide surgeries to veterans scheduled over the next three months According to vendors who can provide these products, during conversation for the formal contract, it was noted that there is typically a lead time of 60 days for any new pack. This lead time allows the vendor to create and ship the packs which are custom made to order to the medical centers specifications. A new vendor would require at a minimum 60 days to create and ship the product. Medline (a large business) has been providing the surgical packs to the hospital for the previous few years. As such, they would not require a 60 day turnaround time for delivery. Thus, this is the only vendor who can provide the surgical packs without having to reschedule the many necessary surgeries. Rescheduling the surgeries would come at a detriment to the veterans in need. However, GeoMed (an SDVOSB) is the only known small business that can utilize Medline s distribution network to provide the Healthcare System with packs. Award will be made to GeoMed as preference is being given to SDVOSB. Description of Efforts Made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as deemed practicable: Previously, formal RFI was posted to FBO to determine whether or not any other SDVOSB/VOSB would be capable of providing Medline s packs. No response was received outside of Geo-Med. Determination by the Contracting Officer that the Anticipated Cost to the Government will be Fair and Reasonable: Anticipated cost is equivalent to cost under the previous contract which was already determined to be fair and reasonable. Description of the Market Research Conducted and the Results, or a Statement of the Reasons Market Research Was Not Conducted: No other market research was conducted for this requirement. The availability of these custom packs is fairly well known. Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other than Full and Open Competition: None. Listing of Sources that Expressed, in Writing, an Interest in the Acquisition: See Section 6 above.
