1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Healthcare Administration, Regional Procurement Office West, Network Contracting Office 20 behalf of VISN 20, Seattle VA Medical Center. 2237 #: 663-21-4-2563-0015.

Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This is a onetime Brand Name Only purchase of 6 Steris Amsco 53 Reprocessing Sinks. The reprocessing sinks are part of an integrated SPS system which is currently rebuilding Puget Sound VAHCS Sterile Processing Service (SPS) physical plant through a future funded construction project. All supplies and equipment for this project must be purchased this fiscal year to ensure construction is not delayed with all deliverables by 9/30/2021.

Total

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

This is a brand name only requirement due to VHA policy standardizing SPS equipment supplied to all VHA hospitals. All SPS equipment under this procurement must be Steris equipment and can only be provided by Steris, Inc and authorized distributors.

3. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Pursuant to FAR Part 10 and VAAR 810.001-70 Market Research was conducted by both station subject matter experts and NCO 20 Contracting. This requirement is to standardize the facility’s SPS systems as the Medical Center’s SPS locations are being expanded. The station conducted market research by review of VHA Directives, public law, internet equipment searches, and communication with Steris as the OEM. Market research indicated there are at least two small business available to meet the requirement. It is determined that Steris and OEM authorized distributors are the only source that brings the VAMC in compliance with VHA directives for standardization. No other system was found to be compatible with Steris and not considered for this award.

Therefore, it is determined this will be an open market purchase 100% set-aside for Small Business Brand Name Only requirement.

Because of the standardization requirement for all SPS processes and equipment, this is a significant limiting barrier to competition among various other vendors. However, if the VISN or facility determines that all SPS equipment requires replacement or standardization is not critical, then the market will be surveyed to determine if there are any other sources who could fulfill the requirement.

4. 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.
