P03 Sole Source JA BH Telerad.pdf

Under SAT Sole Source Justification – BH Teleradiology: 36C263-26-AP-0168

1. Contracting Activity: Network Contracting Office 23.

2. Requesting Activity: VA Black Hills Health Care System (VABHHCS)

3. Estimated Amount: $317,332.88

4. Description: Teleradiology Physician Services for the VABHHCS

5. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The VABHHCS relies on the VA’s National Teleradiology Program (NTP) in order to obtain teleradiology services that cannot be procured in house. However, NTP began notifying VABHHCS that their services are limited and intermittent starting in September 2025. The NTP program is working to build a national supplemental contract to address the issue, but in the meantime there is an immediate need continued contracted teleradiology services.

6. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: This sole source utilizes two authorities:

a. VAAR 819.7008 – sole source to SDVOSB,

b. RFO 6.103-2 – unusual and compelling urgency.

This will be a follow on award to an incumbent SDVOSB contractor as NTP shortcomings unexpectedly require continued immediate service. The intent with this short term procurement is to provide time for either NTP to stabilize or, failing that, to work toward a long term, competed procurement.

7. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with RFO 12.102(a), VAAR

819.7008, and RFO 6.103-2. I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
