About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification document for a simplified acquisition under the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Asheville VA Medical Center (VISN 06) is seeking to procure Phoenix II Workstations for their Radiology Imaging Department under Acquisition Plan Action ID 36C246-25-AP-4130, with an estimated contract value of $54,205.00.
The justification specifies that Phoenix II workstations are ergonomic systems built specifically for radiology use, allowing radiologists to adjust lighting, sound, desk height, and display positioning to enhance productivity and comfort. The existing Phoenix II workstations at the facility have reached end-of-life and no longer have warranty coverage. The VA justifies the brand name requirement by stating that standardizing on the same equipment across all providers will ensure consistent imaging data reading procedures, while procuring alternative manufacturers would create cost burdens, undermine current standardization, and prolong installation. Market research was conducted through VETCERT, SBA Dynamic Business Search, FPDS, and OEM correspondence, confirming that only the original equipment manufacturer and authorized distributors can provide the required workstations. The purchase was approved under FAR 13.106-1(b) and certified by Contracting Officer Natasha Leahy on November 15, 2024.
