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: 36C263-20-AP-3668

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 23, 636 - Omaha VA Medical Center, 4101 Woolworth Avenue, Omaha, NE 68105-1850.

2237: 636-20-3-1963-0638

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: A firm-fixed price purchase order for a Brand Name Only Vaddio Video Production System for the Omaha VA Medical center to upgrade their current Vaddio system. There are no other compatible systems on the market.

Period of Performance: 30 days ARO

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

Vaddio video production systems provide a unique combination of PTZ cameras, remote joystick control, production switchers, and Cat 5 power, video and control connections that combine as an integrated system. Omaha VA Medical Center currently is using the Vaddio system specifically customized for them and there are no other systems that are compatible that can provide that.

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

Market research was conducted by researching VetBiz under NAICS code 334310 with 146 results.

Sources Sought notice on beta.SAM resulted in 3 SBs, 1 SDVOSB and 1 LB responses that could provide the Brand Name Vaddio System that would fit the needs of the Omaha VA HCS. The Vaddio Production System is currently being used by the Omaha VA HCS. No other systems are compatible with this current system as many of the items are custom designed to fit the specific requirements of the Omaha VA HCS. The manufacturer is a large business. The procurement is under the SAT so the non-manufacturer rule does not apply. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to do a small business set-aside. This procurement will not be set-aside for SDVOSB or VOSB as the Rule of Two has not been met. This procurement will be a Brand Name Only set-aside for small business.
