Department of Memorandum Veterans Affairs

Date: 2 February, 2018

From: COR, Hospital and Specialty Medicine (HSM) S-111

Subj: Addendum to Justification for Limited Source Justification AP# VA260-18-AP-3264

To: Network Contracting Office (NCO) 20

The following is provided as additional justification for the consideration of the limited source justification.

The original limited source justification was for a 6 month contract for $160,804.60. This should be amended to a 3 month with 6 month Base cost

$80,402. 0.

Part of the justification listed on the Limited Source justification states that only the current contract employee can provide services because their name has been added to the current radiation equipment certification. This is significant because listing the current Chief Therapeutic Medical Physicist by name is required in order for the Radiation Oncology Section to operate the equipment for use on patients. While other qualified Therapeutic medical physicists could be added to the equipment, with current time constraints to get a contract in place the VA Puget Sound would not have adequate time to allow for approval from VA's National Health Physics Program National Radiation Oncology Program if a different vendor was used.

After this short-term contract this contract will be fully competed and we will have adequate time to add new vendor employees to the equipment as necessary.
