This is a Justification for Single Source Awards document from the Department of Veterans Affairs for a procurement over the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.

The contracting activity is the VA Regional Procurement Office West (RPOW), Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 5, Health Service Area (HSA) 52, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 21, VA Central California Healthcare System. The requirement is for Brand Name only Skytron Ultraslide Model 3603 operating table and attachments, a general-purpose top-slide surgical table designed for maximum imaging access in operating rooms performing general surgeries requiring frequent imaging, including orthopedics, vascular, and trauma procedures. The facility currently uses older Skytron 3602 tables, and the 3603 is compatible with existing attachments and accessories, eliminating the need for additional purchases and reducing costs. The Skytron 3603 offers unique characteristics including 1000 lb weight capacity, 800 lb articulation at any slide position, flexible patient positioning for broad surgical applications, the industry's longest 26" top slide, full-body C-arm imaging without repositioning, low minimum table height of 20.5", and self-leveling brakes. No staff retraining is required as personnel are already trained on Skytron Brand tables.

Market research identified 935 Service-disabled Veteran-owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and 983 Veteran-owned Small Businesses (VOSB), with no applicable results from NAC or GSA Advantage searches. Email communications identified Maness Veteran Medical as an SBA-verified exclusive SDVOSB distributor for this product. The procurement is approved as a sole source award to SDVOSB Maness in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) and FAR 819.7008, with the contracting officer certifying the justification as accurate and complete.
