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:_ 36C263-23-AP-2165

1. Contracting Activity:

Dept. of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 23 (NCO 23) 2011 W 26th St., Suite 103 Sioux Falls SD 57105

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

The VA-CIHCS Imaging/Radiology/MRI Department has an emergent requirement for two (2) Digital Radiography Podiatry X-ray Units. Estimated Value: $72,500.00

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

An urgent need exists and following ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays. The VA Central Iowa Health Care System, 3600 30th Street, Des Moines, IA 50310-1318, MRI Department requires immediate replacement of a Digital Radiography Podiatry X-ray Unit and installation of a back-up x-ray unit. This requirement is due to the age of the current x-ray system that continues to repeatedly fail. The mechanical failure of our one and only podiatry x-ray system prevents required treatments to our Veterans. The unexpected and most recent failure has created an urgent need for a replacement X-ray system that is required without delay.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

An urgent need to procure a Digital Radiography Podiatry X-ray system precludes extensive market research. The Contracting Officer performed market research and determined Z&Z Medical, Inc. is the one and only contractor capable, qualified and available to immediately provide the required x-ray system to the Imaging/Radiology/MRI Department located at the Des Moines, IA VA Health Care System.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b)(i).

The contracting officer has determined that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available due to urgency. I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
