About this file
This document provides a justification for a brand name only solicitation from the Department of Veterans Affairs for a slit lamp imaging module and DICOM licenses from Haag-Streit. The VA medical center requires the imaging module to be compatible with existing Haag-Streit slit lamps used for routine eye exams of patients. Market research found two SDVOSB responses to a previous sources sought notice but neither offer the latest Haag-Streit imaging module compatible with equipment currently used. Procuring from Haag-Streit as the brand name source avoids duplication of costs for warranties, repairs, and maintenance across new and existing compatible equipment that would not be recovered through competition. The related solicitation is for this imaging module and DICOM licenses from Haag-Streit with an estimated value of $250,000 issued under Veterans Health Administration VISN 5.
