About this file
This is a Justification for Limiting Sources (LSJ) document for a federal contract action under the General Services Administration's Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Program. The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network/Program Contracting Office 23 in Coralville, Iowa, is seeking to procure medical equipment in support of VISN 23 VA Central Iowa Health Care System in Des Moines. The acquisition involves one therapeutic bronchoscope (Model BF-1TH190 EEIII HD) and one full-size container (SC04FG, 23.5"X11"X4") from the proposed contractor Olympus America Inc., located at 3500 Corporate Parkway, Center Valley, Pennsylvania 18034. The bronchoscope will be ordered against FSS Contract Number 36F79721D0168.
The justification for limiting sources to a single supplier is based on the FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) exception, which applies when only one source is capable of providing supplies or services at the required level of quality because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. The rationale centers on the technical compatibility requirement: the bronchoscope must be compatible with the Olympus CV-190 processor currently in use at the facility, and per Olympus specifications, this processor is only compatible with specific Olympus scope series (EVIS 100/130/140/150, EVIS EXERA 160, EVIS EVERA II 180, GI/BF/VISERA, and EVIS EXERA III 190 Series). The document was signed by Contracting Officer Joshua Imdacha on March 2, 2026, and notes that the estimated value of the proposed action is redacted.
