Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For

Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C242-23-AP-3568

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 02, Network Contracting Office, Appletree Business Park, 2875 Union Road, Suite 3500, Cheektowaga, NY 14227. Organizational Activity Northport VA Medical Center, 79 Middleville Road, Northport, NY 11768 thru 2237# 632-23- 4-354-0127.

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

The Northport VA Medical Center Surgical Department is requiring the brand name purchase of a Stryker System 8 Cordless Power Tool System to add to the existing fleet. There has been an increase in surgeries that require Stryker Drills and Saws to cut, drill, and ream through bones during surgical procedures. The requested equipment is essential to ensure staff can keep up with the number of surgeries being scheduled.

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

Stryker Drills and Saws are currently in use at Northport VA Medical Center for orthopedic procedures. Adding to the existing Stryker Drills and Saws will standardize equipment within the department and ensure a seamless transition for staff, avoiding any delays in patient care. Use of an alternate brand would require training of staff, biomed, and SPS for the maintenance and sterilization of equipment. This would not only result in an additional expense to the government, but an unacceptable delay in patient care while staff are trained on the new equipment. The requested Stryker System 8 Cordless Power Tool System meets the needs of the using service and allows staff to continue providing high quality care to veterans efficiently and without delay.
