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: 36C249-19-AP-0902

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 09, James H. Quillen VA Medical

Center, PR# 621-19-2-091-0029

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

This is a requirement for a Carl Zeiss Ophthalmic Retinal Camera. The camera is used to capture, display, annotate, and store images to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases and disorders occurring in the retina, ocular surface, and visible adnexa, as well as manual measurement of the retina. This Ophthalmic Retinal camera will be used 10-15 times per day in the James H. Quillen Medical Center’s Optometry Clinic. The total estimated amount of this procurement is $76,950.00.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Zeiss equipment is currently utilized in other aspects of the optometry clinic. This camera will be used in conjunction with the current Zeiss equipment within the clinic to deliver a complete diagnostic exam for the patient. To utilize a different brand would require the purchase of additional digital capture systems to get the information needed to complete the standard of care for eye exams.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: A search was conducted in VIP under NAICS code 334510 with the keyword clarus. Four SDVOSB vendors were returned on the search. Additionally, this justification will be posted at the official Government Point of Entry along with a solicitation set aside for SDVOSB opportunities to maximize competition.

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.
