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)

Acquisition Plan Action ID:VA249-18-AP-5091

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 09, Nashville VA Medical Center, 626-18-

3-2995-0017.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This is a brand name requirement for Medivators brand EndoDry Cabinet.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: THVS utilizes Medivators Advantage Plus endoscope reprocessing equipment. The EndoDry Cabinet is compatible with the Advantage Plus hook-ups. This will allow for utilization of reprocessing trays within the endoscope re-processor and transfer to the endoscope drying cabinet. This will eliminate the need to make physical contact with the endoscope during transport thus decreasing the chances of scope contamination.

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

Market research has determined the Medivator brand is available through Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) distributors. A combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to FBO set aside for SDVOSB opportunities along with this justification.

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.
