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:36C241-25-AP-2155

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 01, Manchester Medical Center, 718

Smyth Road, Manchester, NH; 608-25-2-7821-0007.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: Lease of a mobile Canon Aquilion CT System /

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: VAMC Manchester requires the lease of a Canon Aquilion Computed Tomography Imaging (CT) system while the current unit undergoes upgrades which will take approximately one month. The staff has extensive experience on the current CT unit which will enable a seamless transition to the leased CT, and lease of another branded mobile CT would require time to train which is not an option due to the short duration of the lease. Furthermore, other brands of mobile CT scanners found during Market Research will not satisfy this requirement due to incompatibility with the Windows 10 operating system currently in place.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: : A search was conducted on DSBS with NAICS code 621512 which resulted in 290 Tier 1 vendors. The same search was done with keyword Canon added and no vendors were identified. A search was then conducted on Sam.gov with 621512 resulting in over 1500 results. A further search on Sam.gov with 521512 and PSC code W065 resulted in 31 SDVOSBs. A search on VetCert with 621512 resulted in 189 potential vendors. A search on SCMC was conducted with keywords mobile aquilion and mobile computed tomography produced 0 results. FPDS was also searched with keyword “CT Lease” which resulted in over 7,000 listings for VA. A search on AddsUp resulted in multiple SDVOSBs. GSA Advantage and GSA Elibrary were utilized with keywords aquilion and mobile CT which resulted in one relevant SDVOSB, Salvadorini, which holds a GSA contract, however the CT scanner listed on that price schedule will not satisfy this requirement due to its incompatibility with the current Windows 10 operating system in place. A market research survey was sent to OEM Canon and SDVOSB Redhawk was identified as a preferred authorized partner and provided a LOA which is on file.

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.
