1. Contracting Activity:

Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 23, Iowa City IA VA Health Care System, 601 Highway 6 West, Iowa City IA 52246 Contracting Agency: Department of Veterans Affairs, NCO23 SST1, 1303 5th ST, STE 300, Coralville, IA 52241.

2237 #636-25-2-4045-0009

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

Contractor shall furnish all labor, transportation, parts, and expertise necessary to Acclarent TruDi Otolaryngology Surgical Navigation System Maintenance Agreement.

Total Estimated Contract Value: $60,000.00 Base Year Value: $20,000.00 Contract to include base period and two (2) one-year option periods.

Maximum contract completion date: 1/31/2028.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: No company other than Acclarent Inc would be able to provide the necessary support or services as Acclarent retains sole ownership of software that is required to update equipment items. There are proprietary licenses needed to provide technical support and service for this system that are not made available to any other firm.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: An internet search was performed with the search terms “Acclarent TruDi Service”, and the only results were Acclarent websites. It was also stated by the company representative, Joe Hight, that they are the only “authorized” company to perform work on this system. If any other firm were to perform maintenance on the equipment, it would void any manufacturer warranty and any damage or malfunction to equipment would be costly and present a danger to patients. Additionally, a Notice of Intent to Sole Source was published and closed on 12/19/2024.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
