DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

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: 36C241-23-AP-3198

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 1, located at

Bedford MA, in support of VISN 01, VA Health Care System at White River Junction Medical Center 215 N. Main Street, White River Junction, VT 05009-0001. 2237 # 405-23-3-7077-0126

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

Procurement of the Pyxis IV Prep, installation, training, service.

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

The BD Pyxis ES device is a standard of care our current providers are trained on and comfortable using. As such, we would be able to begin using the machine essentially immediately upon arrival, leading to more efficiency in the clinic. Procuring a different product may cause grave errors in patient care. Additionally, the system is ERA approved and helps reduce IT footprint and leverage WRJ VA existing IT investments. The facility’s primary goals are to maintain high quality care, standardize and improve safety, more effective and efficient use of staff and overall improvement in patient care. By procuring the BD Pyxis ES clinical care can continue to be streamline and more efficient.

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

No SBA NMR waiver is in place under NAICS Code 339112 for this class of equipment. Therefore, no SD/VOSB set-aside may be made. An SB set-aside can be made for the below SAT value of this procurement pursuant to VAAR 819.7003(e) and 13 CFR 121.406(c).

LB BD/Carefusion, directly or through their authorized distributors, is the sole source provider of Pyxis products as indicated by their sole source letter.

BD/Carefusion provided a list of SDVOSB authorized distributors. SBA Rule of Two has been met.

There is reasonable expectation that two or move small business will submit quotes at fair and reasonable prices and an award can be made that represents best value to the Government.

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.
