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: 36C242-25-AP-2443

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 02, Albany VA Medical

Center. Purchas request number 528-25-2-8619-0678.

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

The Albany VA Medical Center (VAMC) Eye Clinic has a requirement for eight (8) BM 900 Slit Lamp LED Conversion Kits. A slit lamp is a microscope with a bright light used during an eye exam. It gives the ophthalmologist a closer look at the different structures at the front of the eye and inside the eye. The conversion kits allow LED lights to be added to the Haag-Streit BM 900 slit lamps. Esimated contract value is $29,246.00.

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

LED lighting will allow the ophthalmologist to observe eye structures in greater detail, improve fluorescence and anterior chamber illumination, and increase comfort for doctors and patients through cooler operation.

The LED conversion kits must be compatible with the Haag-Streit BM 900 slit lamps used by the Albany VA Medical Center. Only Haag-Streit manufacturers LED conversion kits that are compatible with the BM 900 slit lamps. Haag-Streit confirmed to this office that Corps Medical Supply is their authorized distributor.

If the Albany VA Medical Center is unable to obtain these LED conversion kits, it would need to spend time and money acquiring new slit lamps with built in LED lighting, and would also need to spend money to get the medical staff trained on how to use the new equipment.
