Purchase request: 590-24-3-023-0028
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
The Hampton VA Medical Center has a requirement for the Hologic P/N 70096-003 ThinPerp Pap Testing kits which is used for cervical cancer screening.
Estimated Value: $70,488.60.
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: With the Hampton VA Medical Center owning the Hololic ThinPrep 5000 System the only disposable testing kits that will work with the system will have to be procured from the OEM (Hologoic Inc) itself or its authorized distributor (DGA Medical).
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
Due to the brand name only nature of this requirement, market research consisted of contact The OEM to inquire about authorized distributors. The OEM identified that they only had one SDVOSB distributor (DGA Medical) authorized to distribute the requested ThinPrep Test Kits.
Base on the market research the CO believes it is in the best interest of the government to solicit this requirement as a Brand Name Only, Unrestricted on Contract Opportunities IAW FAR 13.106(b).
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.
