About this file
This document is a brand name justification under the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13.5 Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. The Department of Veterans Affairs Contracting Office is seeking to procure medical surgical supplies, including 5,400 units of Omnipod reservoir kits, on a firm-fixed-price contract for delivery within 10 days of order receipt. The justification cites FAR 13.5 and 41 U.S.C. 1901 to restrict competition and permit a sole source award, as the products have been prescribed for VA patients by physicians, and pharmacy employees are not authorized to substitute other products.
