About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document is a Brand Name Justification for a Simplified Acquisition Procedure (SAP) under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA is seeking to procure an Altrix Precision Temperature Management Machine and associated accessories for the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center. The new system is a direct replacement for the existing equipment that has reached end-of-life, in order to maintain compatibility and ensure continued patient care. The VA conducted market research but was unable to identify any other vendors that could meet the unique technical requirements. As a result, this is a brand name, sole source procurement set aside for small businesses. Offers are due by April 12th, and award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. The estimated total value of the procurement is not provided.

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

Brand Name Only: Detroit VA Medical center is requesting the Altrix Temperature Management System. This system checks the body’s temperature and makes adjustments every 1.3 seconds versus similar competitor’s machines, which updates every 30 seconds. This is a follow-on upgrade to maintain operation of the current system. The new system will be a direct replacement. The current equipment has reached the end of life and must be replaced to ensure continued levels of patient care. It is important to maintain compatibility with the current systems in place.

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

Searched VetCert using NAICS 339113 and located 926 vendors. Searched DSBS (quick market research) using NAICS 339113 and keywords Temperature Management, and there were 0 vendors. I also searched the Supply Chain Master Catalog with the part numbers, and there were no items listed. Contacted Stryker Medical (OEM, LB) and was advised they have several Small Business distributors. The VA Rule of Two cannot be attained. The SBA Rule of Two is achievable. An Open Market, Small Business set-aside solicitation will be issued to SAM.gov.

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.
