1. Contracting Activity:

NCO 6

Hampton, VA 23667

2237 – 658-22-3-537-0955

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

The Olympus diagnostic bronchoscope BF-H190 is a fully rotatable, tip angulation, slim design scope that advances maneuverability to provide better access into peripheral airways. These scopes are used in thoracic surgery to ensure correct endotracheal tube placement, confirm location during VATS surgeries, airway inspection and biopsies, as necessary.

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

These scopes work with monitors, power, and light sources that are utilized by VAMC Salem. Olympus Inc is the only company that provides dual chamber working channels that are necessary for certain procedures performed by VAMC Salem. The required scopes are proprietary to Olympus Inc.

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

Bronchoscope BF-H190 scopes work with the monitors, power and light sources that used at VAMC Salem. No other scope will meet the requirement. I contacted Olympus to determine if they had any authorized distributers and they have one – Alliant Healthcare (SDVOSB).

5. 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.
