Restricted to the following source: Provide original manufacturer s name for material or contractor s name for service. (If a sole source manufacturer distributes via dealers, ALSO provide dealer information.) Manufacturer/Contractor: GE Healthcare Manufacturer/Contractor POC & phone number: 202-740-4214 Mfgr/Contractor Address: 3000 N. Grandview Blvd., W443, Waukesha, WI 53188 Dealer/Rep address/phone number: John Thompson, JohnThompson@ge.com The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the Government. (1) AGENCY AND CONTRACTING ACTIVITY: Department of Veterans Affairs Washington DC VA Medical Center_______ 50 Irving Street NW_________________ Washington, DC 20422 VISN: 5 (2) NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF ACTION BEING APPROVED: Award of a service contract to GE Healthcare for the GE Radiology equipment at the Washington DC VA Medical Center. (a) A DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY S NEED: The Washington DC VA Medical Center possesses multiple imaging systems manufactured by GE Healthcare. This equipment is vital in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating our patients. Placing this radiology equipment under an annual contract with GE Healthcare that covers services and repairs throughout the year is the most economical and timeliest solution to ensure full functionality of this equipment. As the OEM, GE has the unique ability to provide both hardware and software support for the equipment that they manufacture. (b) ESTIMATED DOLLAR VALUE: $550,336.40 (c) REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE: 10/01/2017 (4) IDENTIFICATION OF THE JUSTIFICATION RATIONALE (SEE FAR 8.405-6), AND IF APPLICABLE, A DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED SUPPLY OR SERVICE. (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY AND COMPLETE) Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source (unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources. GE Healthcare is the original equipment manufacturer of the GE Radiology equipment, and as such, they are uniquely qualified to provide replacement parts and technicians necessary to deliver the hardware and software support needed. GE Healthcare has provided the Washington DC VA Medical Center (DC VAMC) with services that are known to be accepted and satisfactory at the DC VAMC. A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: (If FAR 8.405-6(a)(2)iii before posting. Do not include specific proprietary data. Only mention the type of equipment, procedure, etc. to show that proprietary supplies or services are being procured.) These are direct replacements parts/components for existing equipment. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system. The new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited source procedures. An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays. (5) DESCRIBE WHY YOU BELIEVE THE ORDER REPRESENTS THE BEST VALUE CONSISTENT WITH FAR 8.4 TO AID THE CONTRACTING OFFICER IN MAKING THIS BEST VALUE DETERMINATION: The pricing provided to the Government has been negotiated and deemed fair and reasonable by the National Acquisitions Center (NAC) and is in accordance with VA Contract V797P-6019B. (6) DESCRIBE THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AMONG SCHEDULE HOLDERS AND THE RESULTS OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASON MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED: No market research was conducted. As the OEM, GE Healthcare is uniquely qualified to provide parts and services for the GE radiology equipment. (7) ANY OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING THE JUSTIFICATION: There are no other facts at this time. (8) A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS THAT LED TO THE RESTRICTED CONSIDERATION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION FOR THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES IS MADE: There are no actions to overcome barriers at this time. (9) REQUIREMENTS CERTIFICATION: I certify that the requirement outlined in this justification is a Bona Fide Need of the Department of Veterans Affairs and that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification, are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that processing of this limited sources justification restricts consideration of Federal Supply Schedule contractors to fewer than the number required by FAR Subpart 8.4. (This signature is the requestor s supervisor, fund control point official, chief of service or someone with responsibility and accountability.)
