Over Micro‐Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C263‐18‐AP‐0803

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network 23 Contracting Office (NCO23), 4801

Veterans Drive, Saint Cloud, MN 56303‐2099 2237#: 618‐18‐4‐020‐0093 Organizational Activity: Iowa City VA Health Care System 601 Highway 6 West Iowa City, IA 52246‐2208

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

The purpose of this requirement is to provide additional surgical power tools for the surgical department at the VA in Iowa City, IA. These power tools will be used in various ortho surgical procedures. The Iowa City VA’s surgical department currently utilize Stryker surgical power tools.

The surgical teams require a standardized motor system with one battery charging system.

Balanced power tools with multiple, easy to change out, multiuse attachments and accessories are key to successful surgeries.

This is a BRAND NAME only Justification.

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

The Iowa City VA’s surgical department currently utilize Stryker surgical power tools. This standard was meant to reduce the turn‐around time for SPS, allow surgeons to complete multiple daily procedures with same tools (to reduce error rate), negate compatibility issues with in place surgical power tools and reduce the overall patient safety risks. This procurement is to continue with the standardization set forth by the station. The items requested are manufactured by Stryker Surgical and are available through SDVOSB distributors. The Stryker surgical power tools have coupling aspects that are manufacturer specific. Purchasing non‐conforming surgical tool would require a coupling device to be compatible with onsite systems.

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

Market Research has been conducted, and the government has a reasonable expectation that quotes can be obtained from two of more Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). This procurement will be set aside for SDVOSBs in accordance with VAAR 819.7005.
