This document is a Brand Name Justification for a Single Source Acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The procurement involves a BRAND NAME medication (INFUSION NDC: 76300-0386-10) requested by VA Medical Centers from the VA CMOP Leavenworth, specifically 500 boxes of an intravenous administration infusion quick set with 32-inch length and 9mm cannula.

Market research was conducted via the National Institutes of Health (NIH) DailyMed website and SBA Dynamic Small Business Search database, which identified one manufacturer (Medtronic Minimed) for this product. The Contracting Officer determined that a socioeconomic small business set-aside may not be feasible due to the lack of domestic small business manufacturers for this pharmaceutical item. The procurement is for the VA CMOP facility in Leavenworth, KS, with the Contracting Office located at the same site, and the document includes a certification by the Contracting Officer approving the purchase in accordance with federal acquisition regulations.
