VHAPG Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT

Revision: 01 Effective Date: 11/15/2024 Page 1 of 2

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)

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 2, VA Western New York Healthcare System (VHAWNYHS), 3495 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo, New York 14215.

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

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

Downtime of this tray not being available for sterile use can result in delayed Veteran care. The items on the trays need to be interchangeable with the items already in use in the SPS department for the Vascular team. To ensure seamless integration with the existing surgical tools and maintain operational efficiency, it is imperative to purchase additional surgical tools from the same brand. This will allow for full interchangeability, minimize the risk of operational disruptions, eliminate the need for training staff on new equipment, and ensure performance consistency during the delicate operations this equipment is used for thus maximizing patient safety in the operating room.

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

Market research was conducted from April 29, 2025 to May 5, 2025 by querying the Government-wide database of contracts and other procurement instruments intended for use by multiple agencies available at www.contractdirectory.gov and other Government and commercial databases that provide information relevant to agency acquisitions. The manufacturer informed me that �Scanlan bills and ships all orders directly. So, all VA orders would be placed with Scanlan.� Based on the aforementioned market research, it is deemed in the best interest of the Government to procure this from Scanlan, the small business manufacturer in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). It was concluded from the results of the market research that there were insufficient SDVOSBs or VOSBs with both interest and capability to meet the VA Rule of Two, IAW VAAR 819.70. Therefore, a set aside for VOSB providers or SDVOSB providers is not a viable strategy for this procurement.

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.
