DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

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: VA-23-00077875

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Network Contracting Office

(NCO) 10, 6150 Oak Tree Blvd., Independence, OH 44131 on behalf of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, 10701 East Blvd., Cleveland, OH 44106.

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

The requested device will allow us to monitor skin perfusion and oxygenation patterns and changes in the lower extremities of individuals with diabetic neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease. The use of this device will provide us with key information to determine if our intervention could improve tissue health in the lower extremities.

Estimated Amount: $65,968.00

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

This instrument is the only device currently on the market for research use that combines the use of laser speckle contrast imaging and reflectance spectroscopy. MOORO2FLO-2 is a laser speckle contrast imaging and reflectance spectroscopy system designed to simultaneously image tissue perfusion and relative tissue oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin concentration change over the skin surface, providing the user with high-resolution spatial and temporal information about changes in blood flow in the tissues. This noncontact device rapidly scans the skin surface to produce several overlapping images and pairs with Moor’s software program that enables the user to analyze the data collected both in real time and during post processing to quantify tissue health.

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

Searched VetCert using NAICS 339112 and there were 606 SD/VOSB vendors matching the search. Searched GSA and VANAC and the requested items were not available. I then seached sba.gov (quick search) using NAICS 339112 and keywords “Blood Profusion Imager” and there were 0 vendors listed. Moor Instrument, Ltd (OEM, Large Business) has 1 distributor, Moor Instrument, Inc (Small Business).
