Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C260-21-AP-4123

Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 20. White City SORCC, through RPOW , NCO 20, Medical Equipment Branch Purchase Request: 692-21-3-9964-0041

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

Steris Innowave + Ultrasonic Irrigator

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

Per VHA Directive 1116(2) Sterile Processing Service (SPS) equipment is required to be standardized. SPS currently utilizes all Steris equipment within the department. It is important to keep continuity. The Steris Innowave U is the Steris model that best meets the White City SPS department needs for a new ultrasonic irrigator

Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Due to the regulations and laws requiring standardization of equipment in SPS departments, extensive market research was not conducted. The station contacted Steris and received a quote off their FSS schedule contract.

Contracting confirmed that Steris has authorized distributors to meet Rule of Two for competition purposes. This is a brand name Steris requirement, and will be competed as a total small business set-aside restricted to Steris authorized distributors.

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.
