DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

FAR 8 – Justification for Limiting Sources (LSJ) For Limiting Sources (<SAT)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C248-18-AP-3462

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 08, James A. Haley Veterans Hospital (JAHVH) located at 13000 Bruce B. Downs Blvd. Tampa, FL 33612. 673-19-1-023-0014.

2. Description of Action: EMERGENCY bridge order to continue existing Urinalysis testing/analyzers to prevent disruption in direct patient care. The Cost Per Reportable Result (CPRR) contract for existing equipment at the lab FSS contract V797P-7090A expired and the last option year cannot be exercised against internal IDIQ contract V797P-7090A VA248-15-F-2583. This is a one-time Emergency. The estimated value of the proposed action is $225,909.14.

Order against: |X| FSS Contract Number: V797D-70260 new contract expires 10/05/2022

3. Description of Supplies or Services: This is an EMERGENCY request to continue existing CPRR supplies of two (2) Iris IQ 200 Sprint / iChem Velocity Automated Urinalysis Systems to the JAHVH and one (1) Iris IQ 200 Elite / iChem Velocity to the New Port Richey Outpatient Clinic. The CPRR program includes all instrumentation and service, implementation costs, patient controls, calibrators, repeat tests, reagents, consumables (urine chemistries tests, urine microscopies, chemistries and microscopies overage), controls, printers, spare parts, and 24/7 service. System handles high volume workloads with short turnaround times, at least 200 samples per hour, and shall deliver well established, standout performance on proficiency surveys. System should eliminate manual microscopy and should provide state of the art digital images and auto-particle recognition software that provides the most extensive and accurate quantification of urine particles, rigorously tested and accurate chemistry assays.

This is unusual compelling situation to continue the CPRR program for urinalysis to allow for a competitive Base plus Four Year Options. The urgent need is that the lab equipment is required to run tests continually to meet the demand of the lab and the VA must continue service because any interruption could result in serious injury and the wellbeing of patients. A one-year bridge order for a Period of Performance 1 October 2018 to 30 September 2019 is necessary to avoid interruption of inpatient care and liability to the VA. Beckman Coulter offers the CPRR program and there are no Service Disabled Veteran Owned/Veteran Owned/Small Business resellers/authorized providers. Items covered under Beckman Coulter new FSS contract V797D-70260 expires 10/05/2022.

4. Authority:

ORDER AGAINST FSS: Authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program, Title III of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 USC 251, et seq.); Title 40 USC 501, Services for Executive Agencies; and Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 (PL 107-107) and implemented by FAR 8.405-6. Mark the applicable exception:

|X| An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A);

|_| Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B));

|_| In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C)); or

|_| Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer). A brand name item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer (FAR 8.405-6(b)).

5. Rational/explanation to support cited authority: An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the sole source/logical follow on procedures would result in unacceptable delays. Due to time constraints, cost associated in changing vendors and the fact that we cannot award a new long-term contract by 1 October 2018, this emergency order will be placed to prevent a break in service. CO will conduct a competitive Base and Four-Year Option acquisition in FY19.

6. Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules.
