radiology, etc. Providence VAMC is the only station in the VISN doing SWLs since there are no other companies providing similar services to any of the other facilities within the VISN 1 area, which is why these have been interfacility consulted to us. The Green Light Laser, Shockwave Lithotripsy (SWL) and Laser Lithotripsy mobile systems are currently used by the VA specialized surgeons through contract 36C24120P0121 ending on 10/26/2024. These doctors are trained on these expensive and highly complex scopes using the shockwave lithotripter or laser lithotripsy to break kidney stones. GAMMEDICAL SURGICAL CONSULTING LLC is located in North Providence approximately 3 miles from the Providence VA Medical Center which allows GAM to be responsive to urgent patient care needs. They are the only company in the state of Rhode Island that provides all of the laser cryo and ESWL services that the VA urology department surgeons need.

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

Government wide database of contracts and other Government and commercial databases that provide information relevant to agency acquisitions such as VetCert, GSA e Library, SBA DSBS, and FPDS were queried. The Contracting Activity conducted its first search on VetCert using NAICS 532490 yielded 384 total results, none of which who can continue to provide these services currently in use under contract number 36C24120P0121. SBA DSBS search using NAICS 532490 along with keyword “Shockwave Lithotripsy” yielded 0 profiles. GSA e Library search using keyword “Shockwave Lithotripsy” yielded 0 results as well. Last search was on FPDS using keyword “Shockwave Lithotripsy” which yielded 21 contract actions. Five of the 21 FPDS actions found were for services acquired through GAMMEDICAL SURGICAL CONSULTING LLC, 7 of 21 actions were for purchase of Shockwave Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy Devices, Catheters, Generators and cable sets for NCO 8,12,22,19, and 21, 4 of the 21 actions were for services from United Shockwave Therapies for Lithotripsy who is located in Illinois. 4 of the 21 FPDS actions were Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy services provided by Healthtronics Mobile Solutions LLC who is located in Washington State and the last action was for a Mobile Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy Unit Form through FORTEC MEDICAL INCORPORATED who hasn’t provided these services to the VA since 2006. All market research leads to GAMMEDICAL SURGICAL CONSULTING LLC being the only provider in the state of Rhode Island who can provide these services and can also provide certified and licensed technicians to assist on short notice and even on the same day to maintain or troubleshoot the equipment which is crucial to smoothly continue patient care without interruption.

Since this requirements total value is above , an intent to sole source notice will be published to Contract Opportunities under solicitation id. The rule of two was not met.

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.
