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: 36C252‐20‐AP‐2331

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Great Lakes Acquisition Center, NCO 12, 115 South

84th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53214. Requesting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 12, Clement J.

Zablocki VA Medical Center, 5000 W. National Avenue, Milwaukee WI 53295. Purchase Request (2237) number: 695‐20‐3‐6942‐0013.

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

The VAMC Milwaukee dialysis water and acid delivery systems currently installed meet strict VA requirements and are inherently familiar to Dialysis and Biomedical engineering staff. Existing operations, preventative maintenance and repair procedures as well as parts on hand are based on this existing system. It meant significantly that the new water and acid delivery system be from the same vendor/manufacturer in order to keep training, maintenance and repair costs at a minimum. Cost estimate: $125,000.00.

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

These systems require FDA 510k certification to meet AAMI and VA standards for dialysis treatments. The

510k certification includes Central Water Treatment, Piping, Acid Distribution, acid delivery piping, and wall boxes for delivery of dialysis water and acid bath solutions. To maintain this certification we must maintain a congruent system from a single manufacturer, in this case Ameriwater.

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

VA Milwaukee has encountered bacterial issues in years past with our hospital water supply requiring supplemental pre‐treatment filtration in the water loop. This option does not exist in other 510k certified manufacturers (like Mar Cor).

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.
