This is a Justification for Single Source Awards under FAR 13.106-1 from the Department of Veterans Affairs for a procurement over the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Regional Procurement Office West (RPOW), Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 5, Health Service Area (HSA) 52, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 21, and VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System (VASNHCS), is procuring Zebra Mobile printers, associated hardware, the Lattice MediCopia Specimen Collection Software Solution with training, and support services. The vendor will provide software licensing, interfaces, services, and one year of support. The Lattice MediCopia Specimen Collection software system is compatible exclusively with Zebra printers and has been VA Transparent Redaction Management (TRM)-approved for use in VA facilities. The software was designed for integration with existing VA systems, including the upcoming Cerner Electronic Health Record system and VistA, without requiring modifications. Lattice Inc is the sole provider and distributor of the MediCopia system and has no distributors. Market research confirmed no alternative sources: searches of the Small Business Administration's Small Business Search database for service-disabled veteran-owned and veteran-owned small businesses yielded 1,065 results but none offering MediCopia; searches of the NASA Acquisition Center and GSA Advantage using MediCopia keywords returned zero results. The procurement is approved as a sole source award to Lattice Inc under FAR 12, with the contracting officer certifying the justification as accurate and complete.
