This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Enterprise Procurement Office (EPO) on behalf of the Oklahoma City, OK Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). The justification authorizes a single-source award to AGFA Healthcare Corporation for replacement of End-of-Life (EOL) diagnostic workstations and implementation services under Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) contract SPE2D1-16-D-0013, with a total contract value of $166,962.52.

The acquisition requires replacement of EOL diagnostic workstations that must operate within the existing AGFA Healthcare Corporation Enterprise Imaging Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) environment deployed throughout the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN). AGFA Healthcare Corporation is identified as the only capable source because it is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and software publisher of the existing Enterprise Imaging PACS platform, possessing proprietary technical knowledge, software access, and established validation and support processes necessary to deliver workstations configured and validated for the VISN 19 environment. The justification emphasizes that standardization on AGFA-validated diagnostic workstation configurations is essential to preserve system integrity, reliability, and long-term supportability while maintaining required levels of system compatibility, clinical performance, operational continuity, and OEM-supported integration. The DLA previously negotiated fair and reasonable pricing under the base contract, and the contracting officer conducted price evaluation to confirm quoted prices are equal to or less than the contract price, with third-party line items procured at fair and reasonable rates. The document includes certifications by both technical/requirements personnel and the contracting officer affirming the justification's accuracy and completeness.
