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‐2914

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Ann Arbor Medical Center

PR 506‐19‐2‐118‐0124

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

This procurement is for TWO Centurion Vision Systems which will be used at the VA Ann Arbor Health care System for cataract surgery.

The estimated amount is $124,498.00.

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

The new CENTURION Vision System is the only intelligent phaco technology that optimizes every moment of the cataract surgical procedure. The new system automatically and continuously adapts to changing conditions within the eye, provides greater anterior chamber stability during each step of the surgery, and places optimized energy technology at the surgeon’s fingertips through enhanced fluidic management and surgical precision.

The CENTURION® Vision System sets a new standard of performance in cataract surgery by combining multiple intelligent phaco technologies, and other key features, including:

◾Active Fluidics Technology, an automated system that optimizes anterior chamber stability by allowing surgeons to proactively set and maintain target intraocular pressure (IOP) within the eye during the cataract removal procedure.1 This provides enhanced IOP control during the procedure in comparison to gravity fluidics and fixed pressure irrigation; reduces surges due to occlusion breaks; increases IOP efficiency at lower, more natural settings; and eliminates the need to manually adjust fluid pressure.

◾Balanced Energy Technology enhances phacoemulsification efficiency through proven OZil Intelligent Phaco and the INTREPID Balanced Tip probe. This increases efficiency and control, while reducing energy levels, and accommodating surgeon settings for aspiration and vacuum by keeping the fragmented lens material at the shearing plane for emulsification. 2,3

◾Applied Integration, an innovative design that enables the new system to be seamlessly integrated with multiple cataract surgical technologies, like Alcon’s LuxOR Surgical Microscopes with Q‐VUE 3‐D assistant and the LenSx Laser to create a comprehensive cataract surgery suite designed to minimize variability at every step of the procedure.

◾The CENTURION Vision System also offers an improved ergonomic design, wireless footswitch and intuitive touch‐screen display.

The upgrades seen in the Centurion provides a safer system for cataract surgery with more controlled fluidics and less energy which means less injury to the corneal endothelium and better visual outcomes for the Veterans.

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

Market research was conducted via VIP, FPDS, GSA, SBA and internet sources. Two vendors were located that can provide the requirement, therefore this will be posted as a brand name only solicitation on FBO.

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.
