This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (J&A) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Enterprise Procurement Office (EPO), Acquisition Service 7, High Tech Medical Equipment (HTME) Post Award Division, on behalf of the Cheyenne, WY Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC).

The acquisition authorizes a single-source delivery order to AGFA Healthcare Corporation under Defense Logistics Agency contract SPE2D1-16-D-0013 for replacement of End-of-Life (EOL) diagnostic workstations and implementation services, with a total estimated value of $51,187.80. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. § 4106(c)(2) and Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 16.507-6(b)(2), establishing that only one capable awardee exists. AGFA Healthcare Corporation is identified as the sole source capable of satisfying the Government's requirement while maintaining required levels of system compatibility, clinical performance, operational continuity, and OEM-supported integration within the existing AGFA Healthcare Corporation Enterprise Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) environment deployed throughout the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN). The justification emphasizes that AGFA's proprietary technical knowledge, software access, and established validation and support processes are necessary to deliver workstations configured and validated for use within the existing system, and that standardization on AGFA-validated configurations is required to preserve the integrity, reliability, and long-term supportability of the Government's existing Enterprise Imaging PACS system. The contracting officer determined that pricing negotiated by the Defense Logistics Agency is fair and reasonable, and conducting price evaluation confirmed quoted prices are equal to or less than contract prices.
