VII. Description of the Commercial Marketplace and Prevalent Business Practices

Describe the marketplace There is a limited number of suppliers in the marketplace who manufacture hospital beds and surfaces/mattresses that will meet the needs of the Spinal Cord Injury and Disorder patient population. These companies are considered large business who have authorized distributors that are often small businesses with some being SDVOSB.

Identify availability of commercial or non developmental items that satisfy requirements (value or shortcomings of each) and sub components The requested beds and surfaces are highly specialized and unique in nature. The availability of commercial or non developmental items would not satisfy the needs of the Cleveland VAMC Spinal Cord Injury units.

State Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR) Findings (if the acquisition is for manufactured products or other supplies) (See the Nonmanufacturer Rule Decision Tree to assist with this determination): Issue Unrestricted Contract Solicitation or Order against an existing IDV3. Identify standard/customary terms and conditions and industry business practices that differ from the standard Government practices (include information on payment, freight delivery, acceptance, and warranties) All terms and conditions are standard for industry business practices and do not differ from standard federal government practices.

Discuss if contract financing is applicable. If so, ensure compliance with FAR 32.202 3, Conducting Market Research About Financing Terms Not applicable.

Discuss any regulations unique to the requirement, if known There are no known regulations that are unique to this requirement.

VIII. Pricing and Market Issues

Identify price sources (e.g., market price, catalog, GSA, etc.), price ranges, and price variations Pricing for this request was obtained directly from Hill Rom. Pricing typically varies when quotes for RFQ’s are received from authorized distributers but are typically close to the quotes price from the manufacturer.

Describe market trends for product or service, e.g., technical, business, and pricing Market trends tend to be consistent amongst all suppliers for similar products.

Depending on the options and accessories selected prices would be lower or higher based on requirements of the requesting facility/organization.

IX. Other Considerations

Identify other considerations gathered from market research, e.g., opportunities for small business participation Small businesses will most likely not be considered for this solicitation unless they are partnered with a large business who manufacturers the requested products.

VHAPM Part 810 Market Research SOP Page 11 of 16 Revision: 08, Effective Date: 04/27/21

Discuss qualifying factors, including such issues as past performance, references, product testing or evaluation, customer satisfaction, warranties, and quality problems Past performance with Hill Rom has been satisfactory. There have been no issues regarding product testing, customer satisfaction, warranties or quality problems.

Describe consideration of green (sustainable products and services https://sftool.gov/greenprocurement and http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/105365. Include discussion of energy efficiency standards of market products, if applicable. Not applicable for this request.

Discuss consideration to Buy American Statute. Does Buy American, Trade Agreement or an Exception to Buy American apply (FAR Part 25). Are there domestic end products available for this acquisition? To our knowledge all products related to this request are manufactured in the United States of America.

X. Market Analysis Summary

Provide market research conclusions and recommendations Based on the market research that was conducted, Hill Rom was the only vendor who was able to provide a product that will meet the needs of the Spinal Cord Injury patient population at the Cleveland VAMC.

Document the decision and rationale to satisfy the agency’s need with a commercial item/service, if market research so warrants Commercial items would satisfy the requirements of the Cleveland VAMC’s for this request. The requested products are high specialized and the manufacturer owns proprietary info/knowledge for both the hardware and software that the requested items are comprised of.

Document the decision and rationale if the agency’s need cannot be satisfied with a commercial item/service The hospital beds and surfaces that are being requested are highly specialized medical devices and contain proprietary info/knowledge (hardware/software) that only the vendor is capable of supplying.

Provide supporting documents, as appropriate

XI. DETERMINATION: [NOTE: The Contracting Officer makes the final determination concerning all set aside decisions and compliance with the VA Rule of Two. The program/project management office’s market research report will help inform the contracting officer’s own research and determination of set aside requirements.]

PART II

I. Contracting Officer Responsibilities:

Title SCI Beds The request is for replacement beds for patients with Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI). The CLE VAMC currently uses Hill Rom’s nurse call system, NaviCare. The CLE VAMC has no intention of replacing the nurse call system. Only Hill Rom beds are compatible with the system. This was tested in a previous solicitation, RFQ 36C25019Q0976.\

Product or Service Code: 6530 Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies (https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=PSC_Manual)

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) : 339113 NAICS 339113 / PSC 7195 Furniture, Hospital, Specialized (E.G., Hospital Beds, Operating Room Furniture), Manufacturing 6/27/2006 (http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/)

Estimated Contract Value (including options): $1,066,842.63 Procurement History.

142 beds and surface under PO 541 A95138 / 36C25019P2315 and an additional 15 beds and surfaces were awarded under PO A05114 / 36C25020P1229.

II. Market Research

1. Techniques Used in Conducting Market Research:

FSS, GSA, eCMS, FBO, FPDS, DSBS, SAM, National Strategic Source, Vetbiz and the internet were reviewed with no results. VIP returned 519 results using NAICS Code 339113 and 0 using code + Keywords "Centrella Bed.” Based on the results of market research, the Government determined that there is only one contractor, Hill Rom, that can provide beds necessary for patient care. The Non Manufacturing Rule (NMR) does apply to this procurement, there is a class waiver. Based on the market research, the VA Rule of Two cannot be met, due to this being sourced through Hill Rom’s SDVOSB distributors via open market.

An Intent to Sole Source, RFQ 36C25021Q0513, was posted on FBO from March 24, 2021 through March 29, 2021 with one response; Comfortex, a small business, inquiring about selling mattresses, which isn’t relevant due to this justification and solicitation being for procuring bed frames.

VHAPM Part 810 Market Research SOP Page 13 of 16 Revision: 08, Effective Date: 04/27/21

2. Results of Market Research:

Results of Intent to Sole Source 36C25021Q0513:

Justification: Comfortex The inquiry was in regards to mattresses, an unrelated inquiry. The requisition was for bed frames, not mattresses.

There are no Buy American Act (BAA) issues to be concerned with. These beds are currently made in the United States of America. There is no Trade Agreement Act (TAA).

The following Hill Rom SDVOSB authorized distributors will be solicited:

III. Consideration of Small Business Opportunities

Guidance: All acquisitions for supplies and services with an anticipated value above the micro purchase up to and including the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT); these thresholds (see FAR 2.1 1 definitions) are reserved exclusively for small businesses and shall be set aside (FAR

19.502 2(a)). If the anticipated acquisition value exceeds the SAT, the requirement must be set aside for Small Businesses if (1) there is a reasonable expectation of receipt of offers from two or more responsible Small Businesses, and (2) award will be made at a fair market price (FAR

19.502 2(b)).

The VA’s contracting order of priority is set forth in VAAR 819.7004: Contracting officers shall consider, in the following order of priority, contracting preferences that ensure contracts will be awarded—

- To SDVOSBs

- To VOSB, including but not limited to SDVOSBs,

- To small business concerns using the priorities and preferences in 819.203 70 and

VAAR subpart 819.70—

VHAPM Part 810 Market Research SOP Page 14 of 16 Revision: 08, Effective Date: 04/27/21

Note: The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 created parity among small business socioeconomic contracting programs. As a result of this amendment to the Small Business Act, there is no order of precedence among the 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB or WOSB programs in FAR (see 819.203).

38 U.S.C. 8127 (i) Priority for Contracting Preferences. Provides that preferences for awarding contracts to small business concerns shall be applied in the following order of priority: (1) SDVSOBs, followed by (2) VOSBs, including SDVOSBs, then (3) 8(a) and HUBZone firms and (4) any other small business. The order of priority was established in 2006 by Public Law 109 461, as per the policy in the Small Business Act at that time. Since then, as a result of legislative amendments to the Small Business Act, the FAR has been amended to create a woman owned small business set aside and to provide parity among the various small business socio economic programs.

Therefore, VA has adopted the current parity policy in FAR 19.203 for procurements involving other than SDVOSBs/VOSBs.

Hill Rom has two SDVOSB authorized distributors, indicated in section II/2 above.
