Acquisition Plan Action ID:_____36770-19-AP-0687_________________

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Supplies will be purchased for the CMOP Lancaster. 763-19-3-021-0978

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

Product requested by the VA Medical Ctrs the Dallas 763 CMOP serves

GLUCOSE SENSOR (3) GUARDIAN MMT-7020A 5/box

NDC# 43169070405 XJ430

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

Products have been prescribed for patients by VA Physicians. Pharmacy employees do not have the training and/or authority to countermand physician orders. “Brand Specific” products are the same thing as “dispense as written” on a physician prescription. No NDC substitutions are permitted. In the VA, Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) has determined that CMOP IDs in the National Drug File (NDF) will most always identify “brand specific” products in the VA PRINT NAME. This is not always inclusive where a particular NDC has been determined to be “formulation specific” by clinical evaluation performed by the PBM or in the case where only one product in the marketplace has been identified to contain the specific ingredients to match the product code.

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

Products were searched in the NAC and GSA catalog and none of the items were found to be on contract.

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.
