Description

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: VA250-17-AP-6023 1A. PROJECT/TASK No. N/A 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $75,344.50 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: The Anesthesiology Service is attempting to procure a total of five flexible intubation video endoscopes. The airway management equipment in the Anesthesiology Service is standardized to Karl Storz endoscopes. These new scopes are compatible with both the Different Airway Video Intubation (DAVI) and CMAC monitors. Both of these monitors are made by Karl Storz. Utilizing another vendor will not be acceptable, because their flexible intubation video endoscopes will not display on image on the DAVI or CMAC. During many surgical procedures, tracheal intubation is performed. This is the placement of a flexible plastic tube into the trachea to maintain an open airway or to serve as a conduit through which to administer drugs. The flexible intubation video endoscopes allow the Anesthesiologist or Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist to visualize the airway and verify proper placement of the endotracheal tube. The flexible intubation video endoscope displays an image of the airway on to a monitor (CMAC or DAVI). This equipment is necessary for many surgical cases performed at Wade Park. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: The flexible intubation video endoscopes that the Anesthesiology Service is attempting to procure are compatible with both the DAVI and CMAC monitors. Karl Storz scopes must be used with the DAVI and CMAC in order for an image of a patient s airway to be displayed during a surgical procedure. No other substitute will suffice as their scopes will not work with a Karl Storz monitor. The flexible intubation endoscopy system in the Anesthesiology Service is standardized to Karl Storz. The items that we are purchasing are compatible with the Karl Storz equipment that we currently own. No other vendor is capable of providing this product, it must be Karl Storz given our current inventory of Karl Storz products. 4. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Market Research was conducted and it has been determined that Karl Storz has a Small Business (SB) Distributor that is certified to sell their products. Their SB Distributor is L1 Enterprises, a SDVOSB. 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. Signature: ______________________________ Date: 04/26/2017 Name: Gina P.
