About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the replacement of UPS battery, capacitors, and fans for a Philips Ingenuity CT Scanner at the VA NIHCS in Marion, IN.
The VA has a brand name requirement for Staco Energy Products Co. (OEM) parts and labor to maintain the existing Philips Ingenuity CT Scanner, as the battery, capacitors, and fans have exceeded their end-of-life and the equipment is no longer reliable. Substituting other equipment would increase the risk of interface errors and potential damage. The VA intends to compete this requirement between the OEM and their only authorized large business reseller. The estimated delivery is August 29, 2024. The related federal contract opportunity, Solicitation Number 36C25024Q0859, is a request for quote for the required parts and services, with a NAICS code of 335999 and a small business size standard of 150 employees. The Government will award to the responsible offeror whose quote conforms to the solicitation and is most advantageous, considering technical, price, delivery time, and past performance.
