About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) for a sole-source procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration. The procurement is for a Planmeca ProSensor HD imaging sensor, a specialized medical device used exclusively with Planmeca Pro-X 2-D imaging units at the VA Central California Health Care System's Dental Service. The document justifies the single-source procurement based on the unique compatibility requirements of the existing x-ray equipment, with market research confirming no generic or compatible alternative sensors are available.
The procurement will be conducted as an Open Market, Brand-name Only, Small Business Set-aside under the Non-Manufacturer Rule, with an estimated value under $250,000. Market research revealed two authorized Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) distributors and one Small Business distributor capable of meeting the requirement through a specific ECAT Contract. The justification emphasizes that using any other x-ray sensor would cause compatibility issues and potentially delay patient care, thereby necessitating the specific Planmeca ProSensor HD sensor.

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

The Planmeca ProSensor HD produces high-quality images with low noise and high contrast, supporting advanced diagnostics and enhancing treatment planning as it integrates with the Planmeca ProX intraoral X-ray unit, facilitating efficiency.

There are no generic or compatible alternative sensors for these x-ray units. Utilizing any other sensor other than the Planmeca ProSensor HD would cause compatibility issues and inability to diagnose causing delays in patient care.
