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: 36C250-19-AP-1837

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN VISN 10, 539 Cincinnati VA Medical Center by VA Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10, 260 E. University Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45219.

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

The Cincinnati VA Medical Center has a requirement to upgrade existing EICU equipment in MICU and SICU units (24 rooms total). The medical Service will be replacing current Gen-3 Endpoint with Medialink IV Endpoint, replace current Sony Standard camera with Sony HD cameras. The current system is at end of life.

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

This is an upgrade to the current system, full compatibility with the current system is required, especially with the VA’s VistA computer system and existing Televue system.

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

The technical experts in the Program Office determined no other equipment will meet the requirement. A search of Vetbiz using NAICS Code 541519, keyword “MediaLink” revealed zero SDVOSB/VOSB concerns. Additional market research did not provide a reasonable expectation of receiving two or more offers/quotes from capable and verified VOSBs. A catalog review of VA Advantage, NAC, SAC, MSPV-NG and NX Equipment Catalog listings resulted in zero schedule contracts. Solicitation was posted on SEWP to maximize potential competition and there were zero responses.

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.
