Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN/NCO 10, 420 North James Rd. Columbus, Ohio 43219 using transaction # 757-25-2-096-0153

Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: Capsa Avalo ACS10-AH0DC-D131 Medical Carts and the associated accessories.

Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: This is a replacement for supply carts that are kept in the patient exam room and stocked with supplies. This is a request for Capsa Brand Name only. This is to keep uniformity in the amount and arrangement of supplies that are stocked on hand in a single exam room to prevent confusion and streamline clinical workflow. This will also help ensure that we have streamlined maintenance and repair parts as needed, without having to carry different parts for different manufactures or procure different software considering that we currently have a fleet of 240 Capsa Medical Carts.

Accordingly, Capsa Solutions or their authorized distributors are the only firms capable of providing the supplies and services described above without the Veteran s Health Administration experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements.

Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: The following market research techniques were used but are not limited to: VetCert, DSBS, GSA and Internet. The VetCert search using NAICS 339112 netted 668 SD/VOSB Vendors. The DSBS search using the same NAICS netted 4,028 Vendors. The DSBS search using the same NAICS with keyword Capsa Avalo Carts netted 0 Vendors. The GSA Advantage search using the part number listed above netted 0 results. Per Capsa, the requested carts are only available on the Open Market. This requirement will be posted on Contract Opportunities and competed amongst all 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.
