- Description
- Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Due to Sole Source Requirement June 4, 2010 Solicitation Number: VA-244-10-RQ-0278 Erie VAMC 135 East 38th Street Erie, PA 16504 Items to be procured: The requirement is to provide two of each of the following types of Olympus equipment: * CYF-V2: VISERA Cysto-Nephro videoscope * WA05991A: Instrument tray for scope The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1 entitled, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." In order to provide the least variance in quality and cleaning preferences, which is necessary for patient safety, standardization must be followed. The current scopes and towers used in the operating room are Olympus brand. The operating room staff is currently trained on cleaning and operating the Olympus brand equipment. The purchase of a new brand of scopes would require additional training to staff members in operation and cleaning processes. By using standardized equipment and processes, the goals of VHA Directive 2009-004 - Use and Reprocessing of Reusable Medical Equipment (RME) in Veterans Health Administration Facilities; VHA Directive 1761.1 - Standardization of Supplies and Equipment Procedures; and VHA Handbook 1761.1 - Standardization of Supplies and Equipment Procedures can be more efficiently accomplished. The addition of a new brand of scopes would require additional Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to be written (in accordance with VHA Directive 2009-004). Market research indicates that Olympus CYF-V2: VISERA Cysto-Nephro videoscope and Olympus WA05991A: Instrument trays for scope are only available from one source. It is requested that this contract be awarded to the following contractor, who is an Olympus company: Gyrus ACMI LP 6655 Wedgewood Road STE 160 Maple Grove, MN 55311-3613 Notice of Intent to Sole Source is expected to be posted to https://www.fbo.gov/ on Friday, June 4, 2010 with the expectation that the solicitation will be issued no later than Tuesday, June 9, 2010 with intent to award no later than June 25, 2010. Any inquiries and/or requests should be submitted in writing to Cynthia Grygier, Contract Specialist at cynthia.grygier@va.gov
