Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C246-24-AP-2694

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, NCO 6, 100 Emancipation Dr., Hampton, VA

23667.

2237: 590-24-3-2474-0147.

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

TempTrak Temperature Monitoring System - 24/7 monitoring solution that provides consistent reporting and documentation of environment, medications and vaccines stored within proper temperature and humidity ranges to maintain effectiveness and potency.

We are requesting QTY :57 (16977-025) 900MHz NIST Temp-Humidity DL, QTY: 3 (17070-1-032) 900MHz NIST Temp DL (DL Only), Qty: 33 (17070-1-SS1-032) 900MHz NIST Temp Lumity Standard EM Kit (Single)

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

The system requested is already apart of the existing infrastructure and network in place to support additional components. Temp Trak sensors are the only probes compatible with the system. Due the proprietary of Temp Trak no other system or supplies can be integrated with the current system.

This system is used hospital wise to include the CBOC’s and Outlying Clinics (Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, and Albemarle). I different brand name will not work with existing software and hardware and prevent the facility from monitoring the drugs, food, and supplies to ensure safe patient care.

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

Market research was conducted by searching SBA Vet Cert, the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), GSA Advantage, and SAM.gov. Trillamed was identified as the only SDVOSB or SB capable of meeting this requirement as the distributor of the manufacturer Cooper Atkins. Cooper Atkins is a large business.

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.
