Purchase Request # 658-23-3-537-0585

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

This purchase request is for TABLO Hemodialysis system to expand the existing supply of the same equipment at the Salem VAMC for use in the Acute dialysis clinic and for home use in support of veteran care.

Estimated Value: $249,999.00

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

This is a brand specific purchase request for proprietary dialysis equipment which utilizes a uniqueall-in-one system supported by an established supply chain at the Salem VAMC. Purchase of a different system would require duplicity of supplies due to the specific chemicals required to operate.

Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

After reviewing the results from VIP, FPDS, Contract Directory, and GSA searches, as well ascommunications with the customer, it has been determined that the required items are available via sole source from SDV Medical Inc., an authorized SDVOSB reseller. The OEM, Outset Medical Inc., has provided a letter confirming that SDV Medical Inc. is the only authorized reseller of TABLO Hemodialysis Systems, which has been uploaded to the contract file.

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.
