About this file

This single source justification document from the Department of Veterans Affairs concerns the award of a contract to PROAIM Americas, LLC for maintenance of nine Zeiss HFA3 860 Visual Field Analyzers. The base year contract value is with three one-year options. Services include preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance, repairs, parts, labor, travel, service reports, and unlimited technical support. The justification cites PROAIM as the only authorized provider for proprietary maintenance of this equipment. Market research found no other contracts covering maintenance of Zeiss products, and price reasonableness was established through reference to previous contracts with the VA.

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

Government wide data bases of contracts were searched. No existing government contract covers the maintenance service for Zeiss products. Vetcert was checked, but no SDVOSB or VOSB may perform this service as it is proprietary to Zeiss. PROAIM is the sole authorized provider and has provided documentation to establish same. FPDS was searched to establish price reasonableness and revealed contracts 36C26021P1094 and 36C26023P0007. Both support price reasonableness.

Contract 36C26021P1094 covers 5 of the 9 units to be covered by this contract for the period 09/10/21-09/09/2022 priced at . Contract 36C26023P0007 also covered the same 5 units for the period 10/01/2022-09/30/2023 priced at . It should be noted that this contract was terminated for convenience because the , and as such, the contract covering the units was not needed. The pricing however, establishes price reasonableness never-the-less as this was not a factor when the contract was awarded.

Both contracts covered 5 units for , which equals per unit. The within requirement is for 9 units which PROAIM has quoted at per year with no increase over the 3 Option Years. This equals per unit, which given that there is no increase over the 3 Option Years, is fair and reasonable. The price is further supported by contract 36C25021C0106 which is priced at per unit for 6 units, dated 03/09/2021. Therefore, the current quote is fair and reasonable.

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.

Michael Allred Contracting Officer
