This document is a Justification for Single Source Award for the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically for Network Contracting Office 4 at the H.J. Heinz III VA Medical Center on behalf of the Coatesville VA Medical Center. The procurement is for a Siemens BM Head/Neck 20 Coil compatible with a 1.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine, specifically designed to assist with imaging patients' head and neck regions.

The single-source justification stems from the Coatesville VAMC Radiology Department's need for a Siemens-compatible head/neck coil to ensure smooth operations and proper imaging. Market research was conducted through multiple channels, including searches on FPDS, GSA Advantage, VA SCMC, VA AddSUp, and a sources sought notice on SAM.gov, which consistently produced negative results for alternative vendors. Only Siemens was identified as the manufacturer, with one SDVOSB vendor having supplied the product in the past. The document is signed by the Contracting Officer, Robert Neal, with an effective date of 11/15/2024 and an acquisition ID of 36C244-25-AP-2676.
