Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C246-19-AP-1450

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 06, Fayetteville VA Medical Center.

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

86 Series Washer Disinfector for the Fayetteville, VAMC. Estimated Value:$

The washer/disinfector is used to sterilize equipment at the facility.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

This is a brand name justification. The medical center requires the Brand Name unit to replace an existing unit at the facility. The Fayetteville VAMC has standardized to Gentinge washer/disinfectors. Brand Name equipment will allow for continuity of standard operating procedures and maintain continuity of maintenance processes for staff using this equipment. The washers/disinfectors at the facility are also under contract with Getinge for preventative maintenance and repair. Changing brands would require an additional contract for these preventative maintenance and repair services for a new brand.

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

Searches of eCMS, FPDS, NSSL, NAC, VIP, and SAM were performed. A sources sought noticed was posted to FBO. Multiple SDVOSB responses were received.

This is a competitive procurement limited by brand name only.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1{b). I certify that tification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief
