- DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRSJustification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1ForOver Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C241-19-AP-3399Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 01, Manchester VAMC, 2237# 608-20-1-7073-0003.Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The ceiling-mounted patient lift systems need replacement items for the current Arjo system to continue working as intended. Forty-five locations in the hospital need Enhanced Charging Systems, Maxi Sky 2, and Dynamic Positioning Spreader Bars. The estimated value of the needed items and incidental services are $225,184.95.Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Sole source authority based on VAAR 819-7007.Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted by the CO. The Internet, GSA eLibrary, SAM, VIP, NAC, SAC, the NMR matrix, and the manufacturer (Arjohunleigh) were consulted. NAC listings for ARJO items were found, but not with the Prime Vendor designation. NAC did show an Arjo GSA contract V797D-50430, which does not have these items on it. SAC search for Arjo only found a hygiene chair. Arjo was asked if they had any authorized SBs that could use the GSA contract. Arjo stated they have authorized 2 SDVOSBs, but neither can use the GSA contract. Arjo confirmed that only one of the 2 SDVOSBs could sell the VA all the needed Arjo lift parts, while the other could not. The SDVOSB (Alliant Enterprises) identified by Arjohuntleigh as the only SDVOSB they directly authorized to sell all the items needed confirmed they could do so.As Alliant Enterprises is capable, provided a fair and reasonably priced quote, and the VAAR authority requirements are met in this situation, a sole source to SDVOSB Alliant Enterprises was done.
