About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification form for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for vestibular testing equipment. The acquisition is being prepared by Network Contracting Office 6 on behalf of the Salisbury VA Health Care System, with a Purchase Request number 659-25-3-048-0214. The equipment will replace two existing systems across multiple VA healthcare sites (Salisbury VAMC, Charlotte HCC, and Kernersville HCC) to maintain standardization and ensure staff competency when utilizing the equipment.
The justification notes that market research was conducted by searching SAC, NAC, FPDS, DSBS, and GSA, which identified multiple sources capable of providing the required equipment. Despite this, the procurement is being pursued as a brand name justification to ensure consistency across sites, reduce operational complexities, and support high-quality patient care. The estimated acquisition is over the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) of $250,000. The document is digitally signed by the Contracting Officer Amy Balicat on 08/14/2025, with an effective date of 11/15/2024, and carries the Acquisition ID VA-25-00089994.
