P03.Attachment 1 Single Source Justification MPT to SAT - GE Healthcare B450 Bedside Monitor - Redacted.pdf

This single source justification document proposes a sole source award to GE Healthcare for the supply of CARESCAPE B450 bedside monitors to the Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 seeks 65 monitors through solicitation 36C24424Q0308 with an estimated total value of $3.5 million. According to the justification, GE Healthcare is the only manufacturer authorized by the FDA to supply this particular model of bedside monitor. The monitors currently used across VHA facilities are approaching end of life, and continuing with GE Healthcare will allow continuity of care and ease of maintenance, training, and technical support for clinical staff. A sole source award is therefore recommended to meet the urgent needs at this medical center.
