Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For

Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C263-23-AP-2158

Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 23, St. Cloud VA Medical Center 2237: 656-23-2-042-2005.

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

Tiger cannulated screw fixation system set comprised of tray, tray lid, threaded bone screws in diameters with lengths from 8mm to 56mm, driver handle, depth gauge, screw remover, drill bits, countersinks, and K-wire. for two sets needed for hand and food surgeries.

Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The St. Cloud VA has a requirement for two (2) tiger cannulated screw fixation systems for hand and foot surgeries. The St. Cloud VA Surgery department is currently exercising the contingency plan of using loaner trays . However, with that comes challenges of limited availability. If the loaner trays are not available this directly disrupts and affects patient care. Surgeries would be delayed or cancelled and need to be rescheduled. The surgeons have the specific training and experience with the Trilliant/DJO brand that is already in use at the St.

Cloud VA Health Care System.

Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Due to the emergent requirement and already utilizing the Trilliant/DJO Brand, contacted DJO directly to provide an estimate for the tiger cannulated screw tray system.

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.
