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: 549-17-3-096-0642 1A. PROJECT/TASK No. 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $107,228 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Emergency Repairs for Cardio/Vascular X-ray Suites. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: This is for an emergency repair of the Angio Interventional X-ray Suite in Radiology. Without this equipment, doctors cannot see patient images and physiological information while performing treatment. Siemens is the OEM of this equipment. Proprietary parts and Proprietary service keys are only available through Siemens. Most importantly, failure of Angio Interventional X-ray Suite seriously impairs the ability to properly diagnose and treat patients efficiently and cost-effectively. This causes increase risk to positive patient outcomes and increases the Medical Center's patient outsourcing expenditures. 4. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Siemens is the OEM of this equipment and does not have authorized agents and retains full proprietary parts and service keys to the technology. In interviewing with the COR, previous repairs for other Siemens equipment were all conducted by Siemens due to the proprietary nature. A conversation with the regional manager of Siemens, Mr. Matthew Keim, also confirmed that there is no authorized Siemens service provider for this equipment. A search of keyword Repair Siemens in VIP.VETBIZ.GOV turned out with no vendor matching the criteria. Based on historical sole source cases already in place, the market research concludes that Siemens is the only vendor qualified and capable to provide this service. Failure to complete this repair immediately will directly affect the veteran patient s diagnosis and could cause irreparable harm to the patient. It is therefore deemed in the best interest of the government to award this emergency contract pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, Urgent and Compelling Need. 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:_05/01/2017 Name: Toni A.
