The estimated value of the proposed action is

The Philips IntelliSpace Cardiovascular is a comprehensive solution designed to enhance the cardiovascular care continuum. This software is required to interface Butler’s ISCV to Pittsburgh’s existing ISCV for the purpose of transmitting information between the Hospital Information Systems. Doing so allows Cardiologists to access patient information and Health Level Seven (HL7) data. This is a sole source requirement for the following items:

The Contract Specialist searched Google, FPDS, and SCMC. A search on on Google for the required items confirmed that the ISCV is considered a “Software-as-a-Service.” A search on FPDS resulted in a similar award made to the recommended source in July 2024. A search on SCMC resulted in 34 results for IntelliSpace Perinatal Information System, which is irrelevant to our need. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted to the Government Point of Entry on Decemner 10, 2025, which closed on December 16, 2025, with zero responses. Based on market research, this procurement will be a sole source award to OEM LB Philips Healthcare.

4. Authority:

Order Against FSS: Authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program, Title III of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 USC 251, et seq.); Title 40 USC 501, Services for Executive Agencies; and Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 (PL 107-107) and implemented by FAR 8.405-6. Mark the applicable exception:

An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A);

Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized;

(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B));

In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures (FAR 8.405- 6(a)(1)(i)(C)); or

Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer). A brand name item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer (FAR 8.405-6(b)).

5. Rationale/explanation to support cited authority:

Due to the unique nature of the Philips IntelliSpace Cardiovascular (ISCV) software suite, the Butler VA Medical Center identified Philips Healthcare, the Original Equipment Manufacturer, as the only source capable of supplying this requirement. The ISCV operates as the primary cardiovascular PACS displaying, managing, and distributing echocardiograms, cardiac cath and hemodynamic studies, cardiac MRI and CT scans, and more. Cardiologists use ISCV to see, measure, diagnose, compare, document, and report all cardiovascular
