Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C247-22-AP-0839, Heater Cooler System

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, RPO East, Ralph H Johnson VA Medical

Center

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

The request is to acquire 2 Soren heater coolers. The Sorin Heater Cooler Systems for heart surgery continues to fail. The failing of the Heater and Cooler System could potentially cause harm or delay veteran care. The estimated amount for the Heater Cooler Systems is $85,988.00.

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

The request for Sorin Heater Coolers System is vital in continuing to provide services for heart cases at Charleston VA Medical Center. The current Heater Coolers for heart surgery continues to fail which could cause harm to veterans and delay patient care. In result, Keith Detiberiis the OR Nurse Manager has determined that immediate replacement is necessary to continue operations without harm or delay in patient care according to FAR Part 6.302-2(b)(1) Unusual and Compelling Urgency.

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

In result of the urgent and compelling need, no market research was conducted. The currently used Heater Cooler Systems are Sorin in which a quote was obtained for the newest model from pervious vendor.

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.
