3. Description of Supplies or Services:

The estimated value of the proposed action is $ 27,512.00

To update and expand the current fleet of Chattanooga Intelect XT 4-Channel Ultrasound devices for the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation department.

4. Authority:

Order Against FSS: Authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program, Title III of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 USC 251, et seq.); Title 40 USC 501, Services for Executive Agencies; and Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 (PL 107-107) and implemented by FAR 8.405-6. Mark the applicable exception:

An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A);

Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B));

In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C)); or

Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer). A brand name item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer (FAR 8.405-6(b)).

5. Rationale/explanation to support cited authority: The best strategy is a sole source award to QB Medical Inc., the SDVOSB distributor, IAW FAR 8.405-6(b). This is a brand name procurement; there is “Only One Capable Source.” VFCP is also satisfied via a sole source award to the SDVOSB distributor, IAW VAAR 819.7007, if the proper justification document accompanies the award. DJO, LLC, the OEM has provided a LOA (Letter of Authorization) designating, QB Medical Inc. (SDVOSB) as the sole authorized DJO distributor, to the Government.

6. Brand Name Only: This is a brand name requirement. Distribution is proprietary to the OEM, and can only be provided by the OEM, or its designated, authorized distributor. There is only one authorized SDVOSB distributor.

The procurement will be sole source and will not be posted on Contract Opportunities.

7. Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules.
