Summary: Single Source Justification for Micro-Purchase Threshold Award

This document is a Justification for Single Source Awards under IAW RFO 12.102(a) for a procurement exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the Lebanon VA Medical Center in Lebanon, Pennsylvania (VISN 04), seeks to procure three Stryker System 9 Sagittal Saws and accessories for use by Orthopedic Surgeons performing orthopedic surgeries. The procurement is identified under Acquisition Plan Action ID 36C244-26-AP-1428 and is justified as a brand-name requirement.

The justification asserts that unique characteristics limit availability to a single source because the Stryker System 9 equipment is used in the operating room during orthopedic procedures and integrates with disposable components and existing facility equipment, including Stryker batteries already owned by the medical center. The contracting activity asserts that no other manufacturer can integrate with Stryker products. Market research was conducted via SAM.gov, FPDS-NG, and similar sources, identifying only two SDVOSBs and one large business manufacturer as capable of fulfilling the requirement. The Contracting Officer, Amanda Saunders, certified the justification as accurate and complete on February 23, 2026. The document is effective as of December 30, 2025.
