- Description
- VHAPM Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K) Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C250-21-AP-4926 Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Station 583, Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center submits to the Network Contracting Office(NCO) 10, located at 8888 Keystone Crossing, Suite 1100, Indianapolis, IN, 46240 a single source procurement request for the Luminex Aries Systems with Luminex Corporation. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The Richard L. Roudebush VAMC requires a Platinum Warranty Service for the Luminex Aries Systems. This will cover all emergency maintenance, preventative maintenance, parts, travel, and technical support. The total cost is estimated at $54,325.00. The requested period of performance is for a one-year base period with four- year options to extend services. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The OEM, Luminex Corporation, is the only vendor that has proprietary software to provide all services needed for the equipment. There is no other entity capable of providing these services. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: A VIP and DSBS search were conducted with keyword search term Aries Systems . There were 77 results from VIP and zero from DSBS. An email was sent to all 77 sources but there was no response. A letter was obtained from the OEM stating Luminex Corporation is the only authorized vendor who has proprietary software to provide preventative maintenance and repairs on the Luminex Aries Systems. Therefore, the VA Rule of Two is not met. The CO and CS have no reasonable expectation that an SDVOSB, VOSB, or Small Business concern can provide the services needed. 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. Brittany Rodriguez Contract Specialist NCO 10, Services Team 3 Sally L. Leitch Contracting Officer NCO 10, Services Team 3 VHAPM Part 813.106 Page 1 of 1 Original Date: 08/30/17 Revision 02 Eff Date: 03/31/2020
