VHAPG Part 808.405-6 Limiting Sources Attachment 1: Justification for Limiting Sources for Micro-Purchase Threshold up to the SAT

Effective Date: 02/01/2022 Page 2 of 2

Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized;

(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B));

In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures (FAR 8.405- 6(a)(1)(i)(C)); or

Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer). A brand name item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer (FAR 8.405-6(b)).

5. Rationale/explanation to support cited authority: The requested plumbing materials will connect to and interlock with the VAGLAHCS’s current plumbing, maintaining the warranty and specifications. Only Chicago Faucets is capable of producing supplies that meet the same specifications. Procuring from another manufacturer would not only result in a loss of warranty and potentially compromise the specific specifications, but it would also cause damage to the government in terms of time and cost. Additionally, procuring a different brand item would violate the current design code. It is therefore essential to procure the faucets and covers manufactured by Chicago Faucets To ensure the best outcome for the VAGLAHCS. Multiple vendors were identified who could provide the required brand name items.

6. Brand Name Only: This buy is estimated to exceed $25,000 and this documentation will be posted along with the RFQ on e-Buy, as required by FAR 8.405-1(e).

7. Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules.
