Limited Source Justification.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for a purchase over the micro-purchase threshold but under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($250K) for a Custom Waveform Generator. The procurement is being conducted by the VA San Francisco Health Care System's Network Contracting Office 21.

The justification details the requirement for a Custom Waveform Generator from Soterix Medical, Inc., which will permit waveform control across 128 channels and integrate with behavioral tasks, EEG, and fNIRS imaging. The device will be used for VA-funded research performing tES and tDCS on participants. Market research was conducted through VetCert, SAM, NAC, and GSA, identifying 320 SDVOSBs/VOSBs under NAICS 334510, but Soterix Medical was determined to be the OEM and only authorized distributor of the required generator. The document is effective 11/15/2024 and was signed by the Contracting Officer on 1/10/2025.
