DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Justification and Approval (J&A) For Other Than Full and Open Competition (>SAT)

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 02, New Jersey Healthcare System, East Orange Medical Center; Network Contracting Office 2, 800 Poly Place, Brooklyn, NY 11209. Purchase Stryker LLC, Medical Surgical Hospital Bed Systems.

2. Nature and/or Description of the Action Being Processed: This request is for the purchase of Stryker LLC, brand name only, Stryker Secure 3 MedSurg Bed System. This is a commercial item and specifically FAR 13.501 Special Documentation Requirements applies, where acquisitions conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6, but still require a justification using the format of FAR 6.303-2.

3. Description of Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency’s Needs: This brand name only, only one responsible source, justification requirement is based on East Orange Campus’s decision to standardize medical bed and specialty mattress systems currently utilized in facility (in use on unit since February 2013) to maintain the highest possible standards of care insuring that care givers can provide consistent protocols when they consistently use the same safe patient handling features.

a. Salient Features:

i. Bed Frame must meet minimum technical requirements:

· Bed must have retractable Frame design and required to retract up to but not exceed 14 inches when head of bed is fully elevated. Meet Requirement: A retractable frame design help to keep patient in place when the head of bed is raised/lowered, reducing the need for caregivers to boost and lift patient while head of bed is articulated to reduce foot end migration which is alignment with EOVA's safe patient handling initiative and no lift policy. **Stryker Exclusive

· Bed frame must have patient monitoring system equipped with 3 zones. Alarm controls on the foot board will be required with this function. Meet Requirement: Stryker's patented center of gravity based chaperone bed exit system with zone control (3 zones) is located on the foot board of the bed located away from patient reach to prevent patient from disarming safety feature. **Stryker Exclusive

· Bed frame must have Safe Bed monitoring system that monitors specific bed positions - (bed exit alarm status, 30 Degree head of bed, side rail position, low bed height, and brake settings). A digital display that illustrates compromised safety parameters located on footboard will be required for his function. Meet Requirement: Stryker iBed Awareness monitoring system alerts caregiver not only that a condition has changed but specifically which parameter needs immediate attention located on a digital display on the footboard. This helps keep the bed in a safe position for the patient which mitigates risk for adverse events and promotes proper healing for the patient. This feature is also in alignment with EOVA's falls policy. **Stryker Exclusive

· Bed frame must be equipped with bed motion controls located on both side rails and main controls located on footboard to keep key functions away from patient reach. Meet Requirement: Secure 3 bed frame is equipped with bed motion lockout, bed alarm button, and scale located on main controls at the footboard, away from patient reach to prohibit patient from reaching said functions and altering caregiver bed settings and disarming safety features which can help prevent adverse events from occurring.

· Bed Frame must be equipped with a minimum of two sturdy grip points for patient to utilize during bed exit with 3 positions (full up, full down, and middle position). Meet Requirement: Two sturdy grip points allow patient to use own body strength to safely exit bed, taking stress and strain off caregiver by reducing the need for caregiver to physically lift patient. This feature is in alignment with EOVA no lift policy to promote caregiver safety and safe patient handling. **Stryker Exclusive

· Bed frame must have the ability to weigh patient in any position and is required to store previously recorded weights. Exceeds Requirement- Secure 3 will weigh patients in any position and can store up to 10 weights to monitor a patient's weight gain/loss for better accuracy of caregiver documentation. **Stryker Exclusive

· Bed frame must have pressure sensitive downward motion interrupt system. Meet Requirement

· Bed frame must be equipped with 30 degree Head of Bed function with Head of Bed lock to increase accuracy of set protocol. Exceeds Requirement: Secure 3 offers a one touch 30 degree head of bed button with lock out for increase accuracy of clinical intervention. Secure 3, 30 degree lock feature will allow patient to articulate fowler above 30 degrees, just not below to ensure clinical accuracy for said protocol when lock out is engaged. **Stryker Exclusive

· Bed frame must have digital fowler angle indicator located on footboard control panel. Meet Requirement

· Bed frame must have central braking system with wide brake pedal located at the center of the bed for easy access. Exceeds Requirement: Allows caregiver to access brake pedal from both sides of the bed frame even when the bed is in the lowest position and side rails are lowered reducing unnecessary strain while accessing brake pedal. Stryker's central brake is 15' wide which is the biggest brake among leading competitors. **Stryker Exclusive

· Bed frame must have integrated pump holder. Meet Requirement: This feature is necessary to provide location for external mattress/SCD pumps to hang to reduce bedside clutter.

· Bed Frame must have Trend/Reverse Trend capabilities. Meet Requirement

· Bed Frame must have Cardiac chair position. Meet Requirement

· Each bed must have an emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) release at the head of the bed. Meet Requirement

· Each bed must have removable headboard and footboard for improved patient access. Meet Requirement

· Bed must have permanent 1.V pole attached to bed frame. Meet Requirement

· Each bed is required to have adapter Bracket to accommodate patient helper. Meet Requirement

· The bed frame must have ability to lengthen up to but not exceed 94" in length to accommodate tall patients. Meet Requirement. **Stryker Exclusive

· Bed frame must have four Foley bag hooks. Meet Requirement

· Bed is required to have open architecture design-flat litter deck to accommodate various mattresses. Meet Requirement

ii. Mattress must meet minimum technical requirements:

· Mattress is required to have gel technology for pressure ulcer treatment and prevention. Meet Requirement: Gel will move freely with the patient to help minimize shear forces at the interface between the surface and the patient preventing pressure ulcers from developing associated with shear/friction. **Stryker Exclusive

· Mattress must have sacral gel support located in the sacral region. Meet Requirement: Sacral gel helps to redistributes pressure by buckling and absorbing the patient's weight, allowing immersion and envelopment to take place which helps to prevent pressure ulcers associated with pressure, helping to improve patient outcomes and promote proper healing. **Stryker Exclusive

· Mattress must have 10 year warranty. Meet Requirement: A ten year warranty will ensure longevity and durability of the mattress and lower the cost of ownership with durable gel design. **Stryker Exclusive

· Mattress must have ability to administer Low Air Loss Therapy. Meet Requirement: Low air loss therapy is vital for managing the heat and humidity of the patient's skin. This therapy helps to prevent pressure ulcers from developing associated with moisture.

· Mattress dimensions must be: 84" long, 35" wide, 6" thick. Meet Requirement

· Mattress must have foam crib and base provide stability and lateral support. Meet Requirement

4. Demonstration that the Contractor’s Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority): The facility recently acquired beds and mattress systems with these aforementioned salient characteristics from the listed source, Stryker. The East Orange Campus has a requirement to standardize with existing medical bed systems currently utilized in facility, to maintain the highest possible standards of care so that care givers can provide consistent protocols, when they consistently use the same safe patient handling features. The recent Fiscal Year 2017 acquisition of this same Stryker bed system must coordinate with the additional acquisition of this request meeting the design requirements and standardization throughout the facility. The facility must also maintain consistency in operations and training allowing current personnel the ability to effective train new personnel if needed. Limiting confusion with multiple bed systems will maintain safety of both caregiver and patient, and Safe Patient Handling protocols state that it is best to continue operations with uniform equipment versus trying to learn multiple systems. In addition, the time required for training VA personnel on a different bed system will not be necessary.

The new work is a logical follow-on to an award placed in Fiscal Year 2017 with Trillamed, an SDVOSB Stryker, LLC authorized vendor for this exact same hospital bed system.

To mix manufacturers/models of beds would require multiple service contracts, extensive operator’s training for our Nursing staff, cleaning instructions for the Housekeeping staff and preventative maintence training for our FMS staff. All of the aforementioned would be at considerable cost to the VA.

Salient features listed above justify the brand name request for procurement of Stryker Secure 3 MedSurg Bed.

Accordingly, Stryker is the only firm capable of providing the supplies described in Section 3. above without the Veteran’s Health Administration experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition.

5. Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other than Full and Open Competition: East Orange VAMC seeks to attain consistency in use of one style of hospital bed system equipment. If a new style of equipment was brought into the facility additional training to teach personnel how to use it would be needed. Confusion could cause a safety issue and it is best to continue the standard equipment from one source with the same type operation versus trying to learn multiple operations. In addition, the time required for training VA personnel on a different bed system will not be necessary. This results in a cost savings from not having productivity/time expended on additional training.
