This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (J&A) document for a single-source delivery order under the authority of 41 U.S.C. § 4106(c)(2) and FAR 16.507-6(b)(2).

The Muskogee, OK Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) is procuring replacement End-of-Life (EOL) diagnostic workstations and implementation services totaling $72,895.56 through the Department of Veterans Affairs Enterprise Procurement Office (EPO), Acquisition Service 7, High Tech Medical Equipment (HTME) Post Award Division. The delivery order will be issued under Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) contract SPE2D1-16-D-0013 to AGFA Healthcare Corporation as the sole-source awardee. The supplies and services include system hardware and associated implementation support for diagnostic imaging systems.

The justification establishes that AGFA Healthcare Corporation is the only source capable of satisfying the Government's requirement for replacement EOL diagnostic workstations while maintaining required system compatibility, clinical performance, operational continuity, and OEM-supported integration within the existing AGFA Healthcare Corporation Enterprise Imaging Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) environment deployed throughout Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 19. The acquisition is justified under RFO 16.507-6(b)(2) based on the unique and highly specialized nature of the supplies and services. DLA previously negotiated fair and reasonable prices under the base contract, and the contracting officer conducted price evaluation confirming quoted prices are fair and reasonable and equal to or less than the contract price. The justification addresses VHA directive 1104 requirements for standardized VISN-wide PACS with common interfaces to facilitate patient care coordination, cross-facility interpretation agreements, equipment cost reduction, and service continuity.
