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: 508-21-3-299-0097

1. Contracting Activity:

Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 7, Decatur VA Medical Center, 1670 Clairmont Rd, Decatur, GA 30033

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

Purchase name brand equipment (Amann Girrbach) of digital lab equipment for the Atlanta Clinic.

Another contract has already been awarded for the same brand name equipment at a new Dental construction site Cobb. This equipment will be used at both locations to produce digital Dental appliances. This package is the hub location where majority of the work will be sent to be completed so both sites must be compatible. Future expectations is that three other Dental locations will be sending work to be completed at the Hub location using the same brand name equipment. This request will be awarded as a new contract; firm‐fixed price.

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

The Atlanta dental clinic requires new digital lab equipment to be installed to properly provide dental care to the veterans. Due to changes in the Dental industry old procedures and supplies are being phased out. To align with the new changes the digital lab equipment is required and can be provided by SDVOSB Directional Command. There are other digital lab equipment on the market for purchase; However, the Amann Girrbach is recognized as one of the flagship systems available.

Being a High Reliability Organization, Dental strives to provide the best equipment for the Veterans.

Also another contract has already been awarded for the same brand name equipment at a new Dental construction site Cobb. These two systems will work together to produce Dental appliances for the Veterans. These systems must be compatible.

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

Extensive Market research was conducted and only the Amann Girrbach brand will meet the needs of the Dental facility. At least 2 SDVOSBs have been identified that may be able to meet these requirements. This acquisition will be set aside for SDVOSB and as Brand Name only.

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.
