About this file

This is a Sole Source Justification and Certification form completed by Arapahoe Community College (ACC), Department of EMS Academy, Division of Health and Professional Services, for the procurement of specialized medical simulation equipment replacement parts from Laerdal Medical Corporation. The procurement covers specific replacement components for existing SimMan, SimMom, and SimBaby simulation products used in ACC's Nursing and EMT programs, including an Airway/Tongue (200-03150), Intubation Head with Cricothyrotomy in Tan (205-03240T), Face Skin with Straps (200-02850T), and ECG/Defibrillator Post Set (380410). The total estimated contract value is $2,348.71 for goods, with no service component identified. No specific contract start or end dates are provided in the documentation.

ACC has justified this procurement as a sole source because Laerdal Medical Corporation is identified as the sole manufacturer and sole worldwide distributor of the specified replacement parts, making it impossible to procure these components from alternative vendors. The college has an established relationship with Laerdal, having procured and maintained multiple simulation products over the past two years, and has previously posted sole source documents for similar parts without receiving protests. Laerdal has provided a manufacturer statement confirming its exclusive status as the supplier for the listed components. The pricing evaluation indicates that the cost was verified as fair and reasonable, though the specific methodology for price comparison to catalog, historical, or market prices is not fully detailed in the available documentation. No conflict of interest was identified by the program manager, Dennis Edgerly, Med., EMTP.
