This is a Request for Limited Sources Justification document for the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the VA New England Healthcare System. The document justifies a sole-source procurement of 840 WatchPAT ONE Devices with services per year for 60 months from Itamar Medical, located in Atlanta, GA. The WatchPAT ONE is a fully disposable, portable sleep apnea testing device that measures sleep stages, respiratory events, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and body position, with a smartphone app and cloud-based solution. The contract is valued at $219.00 per study, which is only a $3.00 (1.37%) difference from previous pricing, and is considered fair and reasonable.

The justification is based on market research indicating Itamar Medical is the only manufacturer offering a portable sleep apnea device compatible with Somnoware through their Federal Supply Schedule. The procurement will support Connecticut's VA Healthcare System's Sleep Lab, which is currently down and lacks sufficient sleep technicians. The contract includes a base year from 07/31/2025 to 07/30/2026 and four additional option years, with 840 WatchPAT ONE devices to be procured each year. The document highlights that no other US manufacturers can provide a compatible device, making this a unique and highly specialized procurement under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B).
