(4) Identify the Authority and Supporting Rationale (see below and if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service. FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays: FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B): Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; The vendor, MGC Diagnostics Corporation, is the OEM of the BreezeSuite PFT Software solution. They are the sole owner of the proprietary code required to complete upgrades, maintenance, and HL7 integration for the BreezeSuite application. No other vendor is capapble of providing these services and MGC Diagnostics does not have an authorized reseller. FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, 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. FAR 8.405-6(b): Items peculiar to one manufacturer: A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: 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. (5) Describe Why You Believe the Order Represents the Best Value consistent with FAR 8.404(d) to aid the contracting officer in making this best value determination: The Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 10, is responsible for providing health care to Veterans in the states of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 10 is the result of the integration of VISNs 10 and VISN 11 as part of VA s MyVA Transformation plan. The newly integrated VISN 10 is comprised of 10 medical centers and the independent Columbus, OH Ambulatory Care clinic and a network of 63 Community Based Outpatient Clinics. VISN 10 provides personalized, proactive, patient-centered care to more than 685,000 Veterans throughout the lower peninsula of Michigan, Ohio/Northern Kentucky and Indiana. Like all health care facilities, VISN 10 is moving from the legacy VistA EMR and moving to an Enterprise Cerner EMR. This move will require legacy systems to have their existing medical and laboratory devices interfaced and configured to communicate with Cerner. MGC BreezeSuite is a cardiorespiratory diagnostic technology that combines gas exchange and pulmonary function testing into one application. This technology contains options for predicted values, customizable displays and reports, and integrated software options. BreezeSuite can connect to the healthcare facility`s electronic medical record (EMR) system to read and write patient information, orders, and demographics from any location. After the user completes the test and interprets the results, the data is transmitted to EMR as field entries, a Portable Document Format (PDF) file, text report or a combination of these formats. This will result in improved patient care. (6) Describe the Market Research Conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted. Searched VIP with NAICS 511210 and received 488 results. Added keyword BREEZECONNECT and received 0 results. Searched SAM with keyword BREEZESUITE and found one applicable RFQ. Award was made to MGC. Searched DSBS with NAICS 511210 and keyword BREEZESUITE and received 0 results. This is a brand name only product there are no comparables on the market. MGC Product Support letter confirms that MGC Diagnostics Corporation is the sole manufacturer and sole source sales and service provider of the MGC Diagnostics/Medical Graphics Cardiorespiratory Diagnostics line of medical equipment including the Model Ultima CardiO2, Platinum Elite, and CPFSD Spirometer. This includes the BreezeSuite software, hardware, service components, and BreezeConnect Integration with CPRS/Cerner. MGC Diagnostics systems and software are considered proprietary and can only be obtained through and serviced/maintained by MGC Diagnostics Corporation sales and service trained representatives. Based on market research the VA rule of two is not attainable and procurement strategy will be sole source to OEM, MGC, a small business entity. (7) Any Other Facts Supporting the Justification: N/A (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: (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.
