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)

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 6, Salem Veteran Affairs Medical Center

2. Brief Description of Supplies required and the intended use: Hill-Rom™ Progressa beds for use in the Intensive Care Unit located at the Salem VAMC.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Hill-Rom™ Progressa bed system is designed specifically for ICU units with features to increase patient mobility and surfaces to decrease pressure ulcers. It includes many features to prevent and treat potentially life-threatening immobility complications. The StyaInPlace™ Technology is the only bed that extends as the patient is moved in an upright position. This removes the low back pain associated with other beds that occurs when patients slide towards the foot of the beds during repositioning. Caregivers will be saved the effort of having to reposition the patient themselves, which will prevent back strain.

The Hill-Rom™ Progressa Bed System includes therapeutic surfaces that treat and prevents skin pressure ulcers that are common in the ICU. The Hill-Rom™ Progrerssa bed will increase patient mobility support through its ability to be moved into many different positions. Potential complications from immobility will hopefully be mitigated because of the options to move the patient into a chair position, moving the chair position to the floor, and removing the footboard so the patient can sit up and get out of the bed. This allows for smoother and less painful mobility progression for the immobile patient.

The StayInPlace™ Technology extends the head section of the frame and surface, in unison, to accommodate the natural elongation of the body as the patient sits up. This technology is designed to help address patient migration to the footend of the bed.

The Salem VAMC currently has Hill-Rom™ Progressa PRO-885 beds in the ICU. The same make and model must be procured for the purpose of continuity of care. Introducing a different brand of bed would requiring retraining staff and retooling maintenance equipment. This would incur a greater cost to the Government and could delay patient care.

Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted on GSA, the Internet and by researching historical data. The Hill-Rom™ beds are the only acceptable beds; however, the OEM does have authorized SD/VOSB distributors.

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.
