PR: 659-22-3-048-0343.

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

Neptune 3 Rovers with Neptune 2 Docking Stations system will remove suction canisters from use, decreasing the amount used for paracentesis patients. and provide a safer, cleaner way to handle bodily fluids for the Salibury VA medical center. Estimated Amount: $0.00.

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

The Neptune 3 Rover w/the Neptune 2 Docking Station units are required as a replacement for the system already in use. This system is required to be replaced because it’s at the end of lifecycle.

The medical center maintains a standardization of care which will provide a safer, cleaner way to handle bodily fluid disposal. By replacing the Brand name only Neptune 3 Rover System with an updated version, the Salisbury VAMC will be able to continue exceptional quality of care to their patients without unacceptable delays in fulfilling their requirements.

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

The VA Rule of Two can be met because there is an expectation of two or more qualified SDVOSBs who can fulfill the requirement. The OEM Stryker Instruments has 4 SDVOSBs as authorized distributors. Both Stryker and Trillamed also have NAC contracts.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
