DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Justification for Brand Name IAW FAR 13.106-1 For Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K) Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C246-22-AP-2863 Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 06, Hampton VA Medical Center, 100 Emancipation Drive Hampton VA 23667 Purchase Request Number: 590-22-2-073-2676 Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The Manoscan ESO Z Catheter is a high-resolution manometry system enables full evaluation of the motor functions of the esophagus. The system allows for enhanced sensitivity that provides useful information to support diagnosis of conditions like dysphagia, achalasia, and hiatal hernia. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Hampton VAMC has a brand-name requirement to procure the Manoscan ESO Z Catheter for the Endoscopy Suite Department. The Manoscan ESO Z Catheter requirement is to replace the old outdated existing Manoscan Catheter. This catheter is used in conjunction with the existing A200 module that includes an electronic control box and host computer. The required Manoscan ESO Z Catheter model is the only catheter compatible with the existing A200 module and the only devices that could be used with the current inventory supplies. The updated equipment will allow the Hampton VAMC to continue to provide seamless uninterrupted care for the veteran population and perform constant routine examines. Procuring other manufacturer items would undermine current standardization efforts and increase costs. Based on facility need and existing conditions, like or similar items will not suffice. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted by querying the VIP search conducted on 03/09/2022 utilizing NAICS 339112 and Key Words Manoscan ESO Z Catheter revealed 77 vendors: 74 SDVOSB and 03 VOSBs.
