Acquisition Plan Action ID:

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Cincinnati VA Medical Center. PR#

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

This activity proposes to contract with Baxter using sole source procurement procedures to procure four (4) PrismaFlex Machines (including the PrismaFlex Control Unit, PrismaFlo IIS for Prismaflex, and the PrimaFlo II Holder) for the ICUs (MICU and SICU) . The procurement of the Baxter PrismaFlex Machines will replace the current machines being used at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

Baxter is the company that manufactures the PrismaFlex Machines capable of providing the service without substantial duplication of cost to the Department of Veterans Affairs that could not be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the requirement. The Baxter PrismaFlex Machines are a medical solution that will meet current medical needs as the older models are currently being used at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center, and are beyond their expected useful life.

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

The market research conducted involved contact and discussion with the vendor in addition to, review of the product catalog and an internet search by subject matter experts.

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.
