About this file

This document is a Limited Sources Justification for a firm-fixed price one-year contract to provide specialty bed rentals on an as-needed basis for the VA Portland Healthcare System. The estimated value of the proposed action is $XXXX. The justification cites FAR 8.405-6(b) which allows for limiting competition to a single source when the supplies or services are peculiar to one manufacturer. Agiliti Health, Inc. is identified as the sole source provider due to proprietary polycarbonate mattress covers covered by multiple patents. The justification states that Agiliti can also provide 24/7 rental support and delivery. The requirement is to supplement the facility's primary rental bed contract for items such as alternating pressure mattresses, bariatric beds, and air-fluidized therapy beds. The justification was approved by the Contracting Officer and the Branch Chief of the Medical Equipment Network Contracting Office 20.

LIMITED SOURCES JUSTIFICATION

ORDER >SAT

FAR PART 8.405-6

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C260-24-AP-3987

(1) Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 20 on behalf of the VA Portland Healthcare System on PR# 648-25-1-094-0001.

(2) Description of Action: This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Multiple-Award Schedule Program (41 U.S.C. 152(3) and 40 U.S.C. 501). This is a new requirement for rental beds.

Order against: FSS Contract Number: V797D-50583

Name of Proposed Contractor: Agiliti Health Street Address: 6625 W 78th Street, Ste 300 City, State, Zip: Minneapolis, MN 55439 Phone: 800-847-7368

(3) Description of Supplies or Services:

The estimated value of the proposed action is

This is a requirement for rental beds. This requirement will supplement the facility’s primary rental bed contract for the following items on an estimated quantity, as-needed basis:

Alternating Pressure Mattress Bariatric Low Air Mattress Low Air Loss Mattress Bariatric Stretcher Chair (Recliner) Bariatric Bed Wound Care Mattress Air-Fluidized Therapy Bed

(4) Identify the Authority and Supporting Rationale (see below and if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service.

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

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

Acquisition ID#: 36C260-24-AP-3987

FAR 8.405-6(b): Items peculiar to one manufacturer:

A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is a polycarbonate mattress cover that relies on multiple patents owned by the manufacturer.

These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing equipment.

The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing.

(5) Describe Why You Believe the Order Represents the Best Value consistent with FAR 8.404(d) to aid the contracting officer in making this best value determination: Agiliti immersion mattresses are available in a proprietary top cover that is highly resistant to chemical cleaning. These proprietary mattress covers enable enhanced infection control measures against antibiotic-resistant bacteria including ESBL and MRSA and is appropriate for use with patients in isolation or who need advanced infection control practices. Furthermore, Agiliti can provide rentals and customer support on current rentals on a 24/7 basis in order to ensure timely delivery of patient care.

(6) Describe the Market Research Conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted. Market research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10. A search on VetCert followed by a review of the SBA’s DSBS indicated that there were no SD/VOSB manufacturers of specialty beds and only Agiliti has the patented polycarbonate covers.

Furthermore, market research identified no distributors able to provide beds and support on a 24/7 basis.

(7) Any Other Facts Supporting the Justification: This requirement is to supplement the existing rental contract on an as-needed basis. This order is being issued for a period of one (1) year

(8) A Statement of the Actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made: Market Research will continue to be done for every requirement.

(9) Requirements Certification: I certify that the requirement outlined in this justification is a Bona Fide Need of the Department of Veterans Affairs and that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification, are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that processing of this limited sources justification restricts consideration of Federal Supply Schedule contractors to fewer than the number required by FAR Subpart 8.4.
