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: 36C250-20-AP-2784

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center

541-20-3-250-0447

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

VA Northeast Ohio Health Care System, SPS Service, is requesting the procurement of Steris VerifEye Borescopes.

The b orescope will be utilized by Sterile Processing Service (SPS) to visualize the inside of cannulated instrumentation that we process. This will be especially utilized for hard to clean cannulated instrumentation that include Shavers, Davinci Robotic arms, Suction cannulas, laparoscopic insulation sleeves, an any other instrument that has a cannulation in which the SPS technician is not able to visualize with the naked eye.

Estimeted at $136,806.00

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

The Verifeye scopes by Steris are currently the only borescope that is offered in HD that meet our size requirements of a of visualizing cannulated devices from 1.6 mm and greater. This allows SPS technicians to check small cannulated surgical instruments for Bioburden and other debris that may interfere with the Sterilization Process.

These scopes also are the only ones that can be submerged in decontamination and then sterilized via Sterrad hydrogen peroxide in order to prevent cross contamination from one instrument to another. Of all of the models that have been previous models purchased, the Verifieye is the only one to provide clarity to all internal surfaces of the instrument to allow the technician to easily and clearly see the presence of bioburden. Other borescopes have had a fuzzy picture or picture was not as clear as needed to properly visualize these internal structures.

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

VetBiz, DSBS, FBO, FPDS-NG, GSA, NAC, eCMS, and VA Sharepoints were all searched for verifeye and/or 334510 for current & past acquisitions as well as acquisition vehicles such as BPAs, IDIQ, and Federal Supply Schedules.
