About this file
This document is a Special Notice from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announcing its intent to award a sole source firm fixed-price contract for a one-year period to Brigham & Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston, MA to provide a research study coordinator to recruit stroke patients for a VA study titled "Developing a rational strategy for visual rehabilitation after cortical lesions".
The VA intends to award this contract to BWH, a primary academic affiliate, because BWH is a large tertiary center for stroke patients, which are needed for the VA's study. Additionally, BWH is in close proximity to the VA's study location, and the VA has an existing affiliate relationship with BWH. The applicable NAICS code is 561110 with a $19.5M size standard, and the PSC is AN14. The VA cites FAR 6.302.5-1 as the authority to procure these services on a sole source basis. Interested parties may contact the Contracting Officer at the email provided, but the determination to conduct a competitive procurement will be at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

DESCRIPTION
Pre-Solicitation Notice for notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source firm fixed price contract for a one (1) year period with Brigham & Womens Hospital (BWH), 75 Francis St, Boston, MA 02115, a primary academic affiliate, to provide a uniquely qualified research study coordinator, from Brigham and Womens Hospital to recruit stroke patients for a study titled “Developing a rational strategy for visual rehabilitation after cortical lesions”. A Brigham and Women’s Hospital research study coordinator is needed to review records and screen new patients daily to identify and recruit appropriate patients for the study.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital is a large tertiary center for stroke, seeing upwards of 1000 stroke patients per year, which are the type of patient needed for the VA study. Dr. Smirnakis has privileges at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and this is the only hospital where he can obtain approval to approach and evaluate patients for recruitment apart from the VA Hospitals. Furthermore, BWH hospital is located at a short 12-minute walk from the campus of the Jamaica Plains VA Healthcare Center where the study will be performed, making it easy for subjects to travel between institutions to the study location.
Due to the requirement to obtain approvals, proximity, and existing affiliate relationship, BWH is the only vendor practical, without experiencing delays to VA research. Furthermore, since the HSPH is an academic affiliate, the VA is authorized to procure these services pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8153.
Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps (FBO). The applicable NAICS code is 561110 with a $19.5 Mil size standard. The PSC is AN14. The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.5-1, Authorized or Required by Statute per 41 USC §3304(a)(5).
Interested persons may contact the Contracting Officer via email at annmarie.stewart@va.gov regarding this procurement. The determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
