Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 12.201-1 For

Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C241-26-AP-2747

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, RPOE, NCO 1 on behalf of

National TeleEEG and Epilepsy Program (“TeleEEG Program”) based out of VA Boston Healthcare System at 150 South Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02130.

2237# 523-26-3-1487-0023

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The VA National Tele-EEG Program needs to retrofit and upgrade four (4) Natus Medical, Inc.-branded electroencephalogram (EEG) acquisition systems and its associated software. The program has obtained dated EEG systems and can offer significant cost savings to participating VA medical centers by upgrading the existing systems and reallocating units to medical centers in need. This procurement shall include new EEG peripherals, software, and vendor upgrade services. The estimated value of this procurement is $180,368.00.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Only vendors offering Natus Medical Inc. products are eligible for this procurement. The peripheral equipment and software must be compatible with existing Natus Medical Inc. EEG amplifiers that will be retrofitted onto the carts included. Since Natus EEG amplifiers work solely with Natus NeuroWorks software, eligibility is limited to suppliers of Natus Medical Inc. brand products.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: A search of the SBA using the keyword "natus" and NAICS 334510 yielded two SDVOB/VOSBs; however, neither is eligible to meet the requirement.

Sound Medical Devices LLC and Rhyfel, Inc. are the only authorized SDVOSB resellers of Natus equipment and services. A separate search with the same criteria yielded nine small businesses, but none are eligible to meet the requirement. Natus Medical, LLC has a VAFSS but is a small business, and not all required items are available on its VAFSS 36F79718D0330. The CS completed two Natus requirements for similar items, 36C24125P0861 and 36C24125P0742, both of which were competed as an SDVOSB set-aside.
