JandA Signed Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Single Source Award document from the Department of Veterans Affairs for a procurement exceeding the Micro-Purchase Threshold but not the Simplified Acquisition Threshold under FAR 13.106-1.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 15 in Leavenworth, Kansas, is seeking to acquire specialized medical equipment for the VISN 15 VA Health Care System at Colmery O'Neill VA Medical Center in Topeka, Kansas to support ongoing gynecological surgical procedures. The required items are proprietary components manufactured exclusively by Hologic, Inc., including: one RF Controller Model 10 (Product # RFC2010-115), one package of CO2 cylinders in 5-pack final packaging (Product # 815012US), and one V5 Combo Kit in 3-pack (Product # NSV5KITUS-003). The estimated total cost is redacted but the acquisition is valued between the Micro-Purchase Threshold and Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Delivery is required ASAP to Colmery O'Neill VAMC to maintain continuity of scheduled surgical procedures.

The justification establishes that these components are proprietary items manufactured exclusively by Hologic, Inc., designed to function only with the existing endometrial ablation system already in clinical use at the facility. The RF controller is patented and closed-system architecture; the CO2 cylinders and V5 Combo Kit disposables are not interchangeable or compatible with any other manufacturer's endometrial ablation equipment. Market research confirmed Hologic, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and authorized supplier, with identified authorized distributors capable of fulfilling the requirement. The Contracting Officer certified the justification as accurate and complete on August 18, 2026.
