Last Updated: 02/01/22 Page 1 of 1
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
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: 36C244-24-AP-0519
Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 4, VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, Pittburgh, PA 15215. 2237# 646-24-1-233-0064
Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System has a brand name only request for the MGC Diagnostics Platinum Elite DX Body Plethysmograph package including a desk, monitor, printer Pulmonary Consult software and MultiUser software.
Estimated value of this procurement is .
Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
Currently, VAPHS has two Platinum Elite units at the UD campus and the Monroeville CBOC. This unit will be housed at the H campus. As staff are often required to transition between the different sites, it is necessary to keep the same brand/style of plethysmograph units so that there the staff is competent at all sites. Pulmonary is very satisfied with the current Platinum Elite units in place and would like to remain standardized at all three sites. Non-standardization may necessitate additional staff training and lead to errors in test reading.
The facility has all of the required consumables approved and stocked that these units require.
Infection control has already approved all of these supplies and they are stocked by the logistics department.
Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: The contract specialist verified the end-user’s identification of GSA FSS contract. A sources sought posted to GSA resulted in no responses. The CS posted a sources sought on SAM.gov which resulted in two responses.
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.
