About this file
This document is a Justification for Single Source Awards for the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically for a brand-name only procurement. The contract is for eleven ZOLL Automated External Defibrillator (AED) 3 Plus Trainers Basic Life Support (BLS) Packages, with item number 8593-001103-01, to be used by the El Paso VA Health Care System (ELPVAHCS). The justification emphasizes the need for these specific trainers to maintain consistency with existing clinical AED devices, as the ZOLL AED 3 Plus Trainers uniquely replicate the exact interface and functionality of the ZOLL AED 3, including a proprietary Real Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) help feature that provides real-time feedback on compression rate and depth.
The procurement is being conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 17, located in Temple, TX, in support of VISN 17 El Paso VA Health Care System. A Sources Sought Notice was posted from July 11, 2025 to July 18, 2025, which received positive responses from multiple small business vendors. The contract is valued under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) of $250,000, and the justification is based on the need to standardize AED inventory across the main facility and Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs), with the goal of ensuring consistent training and potentially improving emergency response performance.

2237: 756-25-4-960-0279

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office
17, located at 1901 Veterans Memorial Drive,Temple TX 76504, in support of VISN 17 El Paso VA Health Care System (ELPVAHCS) at 5001 N. Piedras St, El Paso, TX 79930. The Department of Veteran Affairs proposes to enter into equipment purchase contract on the basis of justification for other than full and open competition for the El Paso VA.
Purchase Request Number: 756-25-4-960-0279
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The procurement is for eleven ZOLL Automoated External Defibrilator (AED) 3 Plus Trainers Basic Life Support (BLS) Packages, English (qty
11) (Item number 8593-001103-01), Brand Name Only. EPVAHCS currently owns ZOLL AED 3 Plus devices for clinical use and requires the ZOLL AED 3 Plus Trainers BLS Package for training purposes.
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: ELPVAHCS is standardizing its AED inventory across the main facility and all Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs). ELPVAHCS previously procured the ZOLL AED 3. To maintain consistency in training between the training equipment and equipment utilized in the clinic setting which is already owned by the VA, brand name is required. The ZOLL AED 3 Plus Trainers are the only trainers that replicate the exact interface and functionality of the ZOLL AED 3, including the proprietary Real Cardiopulonary resuscitation (CPR) help feature, which provides real-time feedback on compression rate and depth. This capability is critical for effective, hands-on CPR training. Using any other brand would result in discrepancies in functionality and user interface, reducing training effectiveness and potentially compromising response performance in real emergencies. The ZOLL AED 3 Plus Trainer is specifically designed to align with the devices previously procured by the faciltity and is essential for both new employee orientation and annual refresher training for clinical and non-clinical staff.
