About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification form for a Department of Veterans Affairs procurement. The Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10 intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Sun Nuclear/Amirion Medical Company for the Sun Nuclear QA3 system, a specialized device for linear accelerator quality assurance. The system is uniquely qualified due to its ability to combine ion chamber and diode array technologies into a single unit, enabling precise simultaneous measurements that meet AAPM Task Group 142 guidelines and integrate with existing clinical workflows.
Market research confirmed no alternative manufacturers or distributors offer equivalent equipment, justifying the sole-source procurement. The acquisition will be made under NAICS code 334517, with the Nonmanufacturer Rule waived by the SBA. The procurement is for the VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System, with a required delivery date of 30 days after receipt of order. The Contracting Officer will determine price reasonableness by comparing proposed prices with previous purchases using the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS).

(NCO) 10.
Transaction: 541-25-4-250-0446
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10 intends to award a new firm-fixed-price, brand-name purchase order to Sun Nuclear/Amirion Medical Company for the Sun Nuclear QA3 system.
ESTIMATED DOLLAR VALUE:
REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE: 30 Days ARO
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Per FAR 11.105—Items peculiar to one manufacturer—and FAR
12.4—Unique Requirements Regarding Terms and Conditions for Commercial Items—Sun
Nuclear/Amirion Medical Company is uniquely qualified to provide the Sun Nuclear QA3 system. The
VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System requires this specific device because it combines ion chamber and diode array technologies into a single unit, enabling precise, simultaneous measurements necessary for daily quality assurance of linear accelerators.
The QA3 system is specifically designed to meet AAPM Task Group 142 guidelines and integrates seamlessly with existing clinical workflows and Sun Nuclear software platforms already in use at the facility. Market research confirmed that no other manufacturers or authorized distributors offer equipment with the exact functional, technical, and performance capabilities required. Substituting another product would risk compromising the accuracy and efficiency of daily radiation therapy quality assurance. Therefore, procurement is limited to Sun Nuclear/Amirion Medical Company, the original equipment manufacturer.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted by the Contracting Officer to determine if
VHAPG Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT
Revision: 01 Effective Date: 11/15/2024 Page 2 of 2 Acquisition ID# 36C250-25-AP-4008 there were other vendors capable of providing Linear accelerator quality assurance that meet the CLE VAMC's specific requirements. The following sources were reviewed:
The OEM, Sun Nuclear/Amirion Medical Company, a large business, was contacted to receive a list of authorized distributors, with a concentration on SDVOSB and VOSB-authorized distributors. The OEM stated that they currently do not use any authorized distributors.
GSA eLibrary, ECAT, SAM.gov, Interagency Contract Directories, NAC, FPDS, SCMC, MSVP, BIC and FDA:
o Keywords Used: "Linear accelerator quality assurance" o Results: There were no results.
DSBS:
o NAICS Code Searched: 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing) o Keywords Used: "Linear accelerator quality assurance" o Results: There were no results.
The Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR) applies to this procurement under NAICS 334517 and SBA has issued a waiver. The VA and SBA Rule of Two cannot be met, as no authorized distributors were identified or used by the OEM. Therefore, this acquisition will be sole sourced to the OEM, Sun Nuclear/Amirion Medical Company, a large business.
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. Per FAR 13.106-3(a)(2)(ii), price reasonableness will be based on comparison of proposed prices with prices found reasonable on previous purchases using
FPDS.
