About this file

This document is a Justification for Single Source Awards under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for a federal contract opportunity.

The Salisbury VA Medical Center is procuring the MiPACS Dental system, which is compatible with the VA's new Electronic Health Records Modernization (EHRM) system based on the Cerner platform. The MiPACS Dental system is required to acquire and store digital dental imaging that can interface with the EHRM system, allowing for seamless transition of medical records between the VA, DOD, and other federal agencies. Market research identified limited sources capable of providing the required equipment, with only one brand (MiPACS Dental) determined to be compatible with the EHRM system. The estimated value of the procurement is undisclosed. This justification approves the single-source acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, citing the unique system requirements and lack of alternative solutions. The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number 36C24624Q0808 for the "MiPACS Dental" requirement.

VHAPG Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT

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)

Brand Name Only

Acquisition Plan Action ID:__36C246-24-AP-3419____

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 6, 100 Emancipation Drive, Hampton, VA 23667 in support of Salisbury VA Medical Center, 1601 Brenner Ave., Salisbury NC 28144. PR: 659-24-2-048-0139.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

The Salsbury VA Healthcare Systems dental service is changing their dental PACs system from the older Sidexis system to the MiPACS Dental system . This system acquires and stores digital dental imaging for viewing and it interfaces with the VA’s new Electronic Health Record Moderization (EHRM) Cerner system for recordkeeping. The VA wide EHRM system will bring all VA, DOD, US Coast Guards together so the military service members can transition from service to veteran status with all records in one place. Estimated Amount: .

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

This is a brand name justification. The MiPACS Dental System is the only system that is compatible with the VA’s new EHMR (Cerner) system. This new EHRM will not interface with the current digital dental imaging storage server utilized. As the federally integrated health records system, EHRM is currently in use in DODs, USCG, NOAA, and is launching throughout the VA Healthcare System. This integration will ensure that all records will transition from one agency to the next. If another brand were to be obtained it would not be compatible with the EHRM utilized throughout the annotated agencies leading to additional costs to the government that are not anticipated to be recovered through competition.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Market research conducted identified SB OEM, Lead Techologies, and one SDVOSB distributor as being capable of providing the required equipment.

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.
