About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification form used for a simplified acquisition procedure under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($250K) for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The document justifies the sole-source procurement of one InnoWave Unity 20 Sonic Irrigator 208V 60Hz, including installation, deinstallation, shipping, and trade-in of an existing sonic cleaner for the Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center.
The justification explains that the VA Medical Center currently uses a Steris Brand Innowave Ultra that needs upgrading to the Innowave Unity model. The sole-source procurement is justified because the facility already has a standardized Steris Brand washer system throughout the Boston Healthcare System (including West Roxbury and Brockton campuses), and the system is hardwired into the facility. Market research included an SBA VetCert search with NAICS code "339113" that received 934 hits. Steris Corporation provided a sole source letter confirming their proprietary rights to the Innowave Sonic Irrigator. Two of the three authorized distributors (Beacon Point Associates LLC and Derrah Morrison Enterprises LLC) are SDVOSBs, while Buffalo Supply Inc. is a small business.

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network/Program Contracting Office 1, located at West Haven, CT, in support of VISN 01, VA Health Care System at Jamaica Plain, MA.
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

1 SHIPPING & HANDLING
1 Trade-In Sonic Cleaner
The STERIS InnoWave Unity Sonic Irrigator is designed to thoroughly clean a variety of reusable surgical instruments. The Jamaica Plain VAMC requires a standalone sonic irrigation system to properly sterilize surgical equipment. The Jamaica Plain VAMC currently has an outdated Innowave Ultra which will be updating to the Innowave Unity. This item is part of a system of Steris washers that are used to disinfect surgical equipment.
The estimated value of the proposed action is
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
The Jamica Plain VA Medical Center already have a Steris Brand Innowave Ultra Sonic Irrigator that needs to be updated. The required Innowave Unity is the upgraded version of the Innowave Ultra.
The Jamaica Plain VA already have a Steris Brand washer system that has been standardized throughout the entire Boston Healthcare System (HCS); West Roxbury and Brockton campuses. This allows for unified processing and servicing of the entire Boston HCS which limits servicing costs. The rest of the Sonic system is hardwired into the Jamaica Plain VA and use of another manufacturer or brand would result in purchasing a new washer system. Purchasing a new washer system would incur more costs for the Jamaica instruments, utensils, and other goods.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
Corporation, Steris provided a sole source letter stating the Innowave Sonic Irrigator is proprietary to them. Steris also provided an authorized distributor list which 2 of the 3 distributors were listed
