FAR 13 Single Source Justification - R_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification document from the Department of Veterans Affairs for a one-time fixed price service contract. The Augusta VA Medical Center intends to award a contract to PAR Excellence Systems for a weight-based inventory management system that detects and transmits real-time information into the Government-owned Generic Inventory Package (GIP) via VISTA/AICAP access. The system must comply with Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLESS).

The procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition because PAR Excellence is the only vendor capable of meeting the requirement. The company is the manufacturer and distributor of the current weight-based inventory system, and staff have been trained in the system. No other authorized vendors were found during market research. The contract will ensure system compatibility, standardization, continued operation, integration, and real-time inventory visibility. The effective date is 11/15/2024, with the acquisition ID 36C247-25-AP-0339, and the contract is valued at an unspecified amount.
