DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For

Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID:______ VA-22-00050792____________

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 23, VISN Office to NCO 23. 2237 #: 499- 22-3-6720-0041

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: VISN 23 is requesting Image Retrieval Workflow Management software, name Navigator, for implementation across all VISN 23 sites, except Minneapolis, who already procured and implemented the software.

The estimated amount to procure and implement across the VISN is $208,530.00

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: VISN 23 shares the same Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) across all sites to store and transmit Radiology images. Minneapolis procured an additional software, Navigator, to help manage retrieval of those images. After positive reviews from Minneapolis VAMC, the rest of the VISN wishes to implement Navigator. VISN 23 Imaging ICC and VISN 23 HTM recommends purchase of the same software to allow sharing of workflows for simplified implementation and increased patient care across the VISN .

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: VISN 23 HTM searched Google for Image retrieval management solutions and found limited solutions.

VISN 23 HTM then reached out to Minneapolis VAMC for review of their Image retrieval management solution and after positive reviews, VISN 23 HTM reached out to Laurel Bridge for quotes.

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.
