VHAPM Part 808.405-6 Limiting Sources Page 2 of 2 Original Date: 08/30/2017 Revision 01 Eff Date: 04/23/2018

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;

(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B));

In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures (FAR 8.405- 6(a)(1)(i)(C)); or

Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer). A brand name item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer (FAR 8.405-6(b)).

5. Rational/explanation to support cited authority: The Corporal Michael J Crenscenz VA Medical Center has an urgent requirement for KaVo Dental Hand Pieces. FSS approved KavoKerr is the sole distributor for the proprietary hand pieces required and is compatible with the current system, to maintain the Philadelphia VAMC investment in this technology that is adaptable with our new motors. If not, the PVAMC will not be able to sustain adequate patient care metrics and achieve realistic sterilization processing turnaround times for a total of 10 operatories.

6. BRAND NAME ONLY: This buy is estimated to exceed $25,000 and this documentation will be posted along with the RFQ on e-Buy, as required by FAR 8.405-1(e).

7. Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules.
