This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (J&A) document authorizing a single-source award to AGFA Healthcare Corporation for replacement of End-of-Life (EOL) diagnostic workstations and implementation services.

The contracting activity is the Department of Veterans Affairs Enterprise Procurement Office (EPO), Acquisition Service 7, High Tech Medical Equipment (HTME) Post Award Division, executing on behalf of the Grand Junction, Colorado Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). The delivery order will be issued under Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) contract SPE2D1-16-D-0013 to AGFA Healthcare Corporation, with a total estimated value of $87,367.40. The requirement encompasses system hardware and services for diagnostic workstations. The justification cites RFO 16.507-6(b)(2)—only one capable awardee—as the applicable exception to fair opportunity, establishing that AGFA Healthcare Corporation is the sole source capable of providing the supplies and services at the required quality level because the supplies and services are unique or highly specialized. AGFA Healthcare Corporation, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and software publisher of the existing Enterprise Imaging Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) deployed throughout Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 19, possesses proprietary technical knowledge, software access, and established validation and support processes necessary to deliver workstations configured and validated for integration within the existing AGFA PACS environment. The Defense Logistics Agency previously negotiated fair and reasonable pricing under contract SPE2D1-16-D-0013, and the Contracting Officer has conducted price evaluation to confirm quoted prices are equal to or less than the contract price. The document includes certifications from technical/requirements personnel and the Contracting Officer confirming the justification is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge and belief.
