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: 36C249-20-AP-3726

1. Contracting Activity:

Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 09, Robley Rex VA Medical Center, Memphis, TN, 614-21-1-5069-0019.

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

Amount: The Memphis VA Medical Center has a requirement for the repair service of Hill Rom Envella and Compella beds for the period of 10/01/2020-09/30/2025. These specialty care beds are required for patients with special needs.

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

The Hill-Rom Navi Care Nurse Call System in use at the hospital will only fully integrate with Hill-Rom brand beds. Hill-Rom furnishes OEM parts though Hill-Rom service programs. Other service providers may choose to use parts that do not originate from Hill-Rom and unknowingly have the products serviced by personnel that are not up to date on the latest engineering change orders, software releases, product updates or authorized service repair procedures. In contrast, Hill-Rom, as the manufacturer and supplier, will always have the correct parts and control over the training of its employees on the most updated versions of the products.

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

Based on market research, there were ample SDVOSB/VOSBs identified that could possibly provide Bed Repair service for this procurement. Contact with the station and the manufacturer revealed that only the manufacturer could provide for this requirement. A sole source letter was added to the briefcase. Therefore, this procurement will be sole sourced to the manufacturer Hill-Rom which is an other than small business on open market.
