1. Contracting Activity:Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Ann Arbor VA Medical Center, PR 2237#506-18-1-525-0008

2. Description of Action:This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Multiple- Award Schedule Program (41 U.S.C. 251and40 U.S.C. 501).The material or service listedin par. 3 below is sole source, therefore, consideration of the number of contractors required by FAR Subpart 8.4 – Federal Supply Schedules, is precluded for the reasons indicatedbelow.

Order against:FSSContractNumber: GS-07F-217CA

3. Description of Supplies orServices:

The estimated value of the proposed action is$230,000.00

Plant operations and maintenance at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System is responsible for over 1.5 Million Square Feet within the main hospital complex. The contractor will provide all materials, labor, supervision, test equipment, technical manuals and transportation necessary to perform preventative maintenance and unlimited emergency repairs on the Government owned Siemens Energy Management System located at the VA Medical Center, 2215 Fuller Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105, for the period of November 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018 in strict compliance with all schedules, specifications, terms, conditions and provisions of the contract.

(4) IDENTIFY THE AUTHORITY AND SUPPORTING RATIONALE (see8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A), (B), and(C) or 8.405-6(b)), AND IF APPLICABLE, A DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED SUPPLY ORSERVICE.

VHAPM Part 808.405-6 Limiting Sources Attachment 2: Request for Limited Sources Justification Format >$150K

VHAPM Part 808.405-6 Limiting Sources Original Date: 08/30/2017 Page of

FAR 804-5-6(b). Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.The existing building management system was installed by the OEM manufacturer, Siemens Industry, Inc. The software used is proprietary to Siemens and the installed controllers will not function with another vendors system. Only Siemens is able to provide the service and programs the controllers installed at the Ann Arbor VA MedicalCenter.

In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited source procedures.

Items peculiar to onemanufacturer:

A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: The software used is proprietary to Siemens and the installed controllerswillnotfunction with anothervendorssystem. (If FAR 8.405-6(a)(2)iii beforeposting.Do not include specific proprietary data. Only mention the type of equipment, procedure, etc. to show that proprietary supplies or services are beingprocured.)

These are“direct replacements” parts/componentsfor existing equipment.

The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

(5) DESCRIBE WHY YOU BELIEVE THE ORDER REPRESENTS THE BEST VALUE CONSISTENT WITH FAR 8.404(d) TO AID THE CONTRACTING OFFICER IN MAKING THIS BEST VALUE DETERMINATION:This procurement represents the best value to the government because upgrading the system throughout the OEM vendor, given the proprietary nature, is cheaper than competing this procurement which might result in replacing all the controllers and all other Siemens equipment already installed at the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center. Only Siemens, the OEM vendor, is able to service and upgrade Siemens building monitoring equipment via an FSScontract.

(6) DESCRIBE THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AMONG SCHEDULE HOLDERS AND THE RESULTS OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASON MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED:Market research was not conducted because the contract is for a service contract on proprietary equipment. The current systems performance is satisfactorily. Only Siemens, the OEM vendor, is able to service and upgrade Siemens building monitoring equipment via an FSScontract.

(7) ANY OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING THE JUSTIFICATION: None.

(8) A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS THAT LED TO THE RESTRICTED CONSIDERATION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION FOR THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES ISMADE:

Should another requisition of this nature reoccur, we would undertake a new market survey.
