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: 36C241‐18‐AP‐0773

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, NCO 01 Contracting

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

This is a brand name justification for Stryker In Touch w/Zoom Motor & Isolibrium Mattresses. The In Touch® w/ Zoom motor bed model drops to the floor with a height of only 16” from the floor providing firm standing support for patients at risk for falling when changing positions. This model also provides a built in programmable 30 degree head angle for the prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia and four zone technology to monitor patient positioning while in the bed to assist with prevention of sacral pressure ulcers.

The Isolibrium® mattress fully integrates with the In Touch® bed frame to provide low‐air‐loss therapy for skin moisture dissipation and lateral alternating distribution of body weight thereby giving extra PI prevention for patients prone to Pressure Injuries.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

Stryker is the OEM of these frames, and mattresses and the InTouch® w/Zoom motor and accompanying Isolibrium surface therapy are the critical care bed system currently used at VACT Medical Center in both the ICUs and SDUs. Purchasing the In Touch w/Zoom motor and Isolibrium mattresses will allow the VACT Medical Center to purchase additional bed systems that match their existing inventory while maintaining continuity of care and EOC safety for both the patients and the staff. Stryker also works with SDVOSB vendors in the distribution of its products.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Market research was conducted and (3) authorized Stryker distributors who are SDVOSB companies were identified and are able to provide quotations for these specific beds. Therefore, this requirement will be issued on FBO with a brand name justification for the Stryker mattresses as an Open Market, SDVOSB set‐aside.
