LSJ Syracuse Medtronic Catheters_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification form from the Department of Veterans Affairs for a sole source procurement for the Syracuse VA Medical Center. The justification covers the purchase of specialized medical supplies including cytology brushes, bronchoscopy patient sensors, pulmonary needles, aspiration needles, biopsy forceps, and various endoscopic procedure kits, totaling 22 line items. These proprietary disposable supplies are specifically designed for use with an INREACH I-LOGIC Super Dimensions bronchoscopy cart purchased in 2013.

The procurement is being conducted with Medtronic (DBA: Covidien Sales LLC) as the sole source vendor, justified by market research that found no alternative suppliers capable of meeting the VA's requirements. The total procurement is under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000, and the contract is being pursued under FAR 13.106-1(b). The Syracuse VAMC requires these supplies to replace expired equipment and restore diagnostic capabilities for lung cancer screening procedures. Interested parties may submit expressions of interest by 12:00 PM EST on July 14, 2025, to potentially challenge the sole source determination.
