1. Contracting Activity: This acquisition is for Operating Room, Madigan Army Medical Center (MAMC), Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Tacoma, Washington 98431. The contracting activity is Western Regional Contracting Office. J&A CONTROL NO. 15-154

2. Description of Action:

Requirement: New Repeat Pricing: Firm-Fixed Price Time & Materials Cost Funds: OMA Other Funds: _________ Total Dollar Value: $ _99,994.49_

Name of Intended Contractor: Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions, Inc.

Street Address: 13949 Alvarez Road, Suite 300 City, State, Zip: Jacksonville, FL 32218

Phone: 904-638-5520

3. Description of Supplies/Services: This requirement is for a one-time buy. The estimated cost is $99,994.49. The NOVADAQ PINPOINT will be used intra-operatively to assist surgeons in visualizing blood flow in vessels, tissues and organs by fluorescence. Fluorescence imaging allows for actionable, real-time visualization of perfusion and structural anatomy during a variety of laparoscopic procedures.

4. Authority Cited:

(a) FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i): Only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreement, brand name or industrial mobilization); OR

(b) FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii): Only one source can provide a portion of the purchase that is a particular brand-name item; OR

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

(d) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B): 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; OR

(e) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: There are no current items similar to the NOVADAQ PINPOINT for laparoscopic procedures. This equipment is required because it's a new technology that assists surgeons in assessing perfusion intra-operatively. It aids in the prevention of anastomotic leaks, and could potentially reduce the occurrence of costly postoperative complications. NOVADAQ is currently the only company that makes the pinpoint.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: No action on this part of this office will decrease this type of barrier to competition.

This will be posted on ASFI to increase competition. An announcement will be published on Federal Business Opportunities. (ASFI)

7. Market Survey: Western Regional Contracting Office will continue to conduct market research on an ongoing basis to see if other sources become available in the future. Market research included the use of the GSA Advantage, Veteran’s Healthcare Supply Solution’s equipment and an intense internet search. No sources were identified that were capable of providing the requested equipment.
