About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) from the Department of Veterans Affairs NCO 16, Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. The justification is for the procurement of 10 Medela Thopaz+ Digital Chest Drainage and Monitoring Systems for Cardiothoracic Surgery, with an estimated value of $55,620.00.
The document outlines that only Medela Inc. can provide these systems due to specific requirements: compatibility with current Operating Room and ICU equipment, interface capabilities with existing Medela perfusion pumps, and the ability to provide post-op mediastinal and pleural drainage with uninterrupted continuous drainage using battery operation modes. Market research confirmed no authorized distributors exist, and a Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted to SAM due to urgency. The document is signed by Andrew Misfeldt and is effective as of 11/15/2024.
