Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C244-23-AP-2625

Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 4, Network Contracting Office 4, 1601 Kirkwood Highway, Wilmington, DE 19805. PR#: 503-23-2-225-0075

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

Altoona VAMC has a brand name requirement for 15 Sizewise Evolution beds, mattresses, and pumps to replace beds that have passed the end of their life expectancy and need replaced for use in our Acute and Long Term Care Units. Previous orders for brand items: 36C24420F0361 & 36C24420F0429.

Estimated Amount: $122,133.15

2. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Altoona VAMC currently has 20 Sizewise Evolution beds that they purchased in FY2020 that will remain in use. The station Biomed team is trained in repair and maintenance of these beds and common repair parts are maintained on hand. New beds, mattresses, and pumps must be interchangeable with the existing beds to ensure compatible equipment is used as components are frequently switched out of use with the current equipment for cleaning, repair, and/or preventative maintenance.

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

Market research was conducted by search of GSAAdvantage, the VA Supply Chain Master Catalog, NAC Med/Surg Catalog, as well as the world wide web. Sizewise Rental (Agiliti Health) and their only SDVOSB authorized distributor they partner with sell this equipment.

4. 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. .
