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: 36C242-19-AP-3427 – Sleep Lab Equipment

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 02, Syracuse Medical Center

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: Sleep Lab requires the installation of new sleep lab equipment to continue to operator our 6-bed sleep lab.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Syracuse VAMC has decided to utilize SOMNOSTAR Z4 VER 11 Sleep System to keep in line with other facilities in VISN 2 including WNY Buffalo VA. We will be doing telehealth/REVAMP sleep medicine soon, and our equipment needs to be supported by the vendor.

The scope of this work is for the Syracuse VAMC, but also gives us the ability to help any sleep lab in the VISN 2 and to the REVAMP and Telehealth Programs. With the new sleep lab equipment, we can view studies via CPRS resulting in the ability to assist the doctors and other facilities to view those results timely, and from any access.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: The Syracuse VAMC has decided to utilize SOMNOSTAR Z4 VER 11 Sleep System to keep in line with other facilities in VISN 2 including WNY Buffalo VA.

5. 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.
