- Description
- DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Limited Source Justification Other Than Full and Open Competition VA Northern California Health Care System 3230 Peacekeeper Way, Bldg 209 McClellan CA 95652 Medical Commodities - Palo Alto VAPAHCS (640) 1. CONTRACTING ACTIVITY: Department of Veterans Affairs, Consolidated Contracting Activity-VISN 21. 2. DESCRIPTION OF ACTION: Purchase Request 640-10-3-021-3661, for an Active Care C. E. CT Device and Accessories Rental. 3. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES: Request is for an Active Care C. E. CT Device and Accessories Rental for the VA Palo Alto Facility. The estimated value of this maintenance contract being requested is $50,000.00 4. AUTHORITY CITED: FAR 13.106(b) Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirement: "When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for." 5. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED: Other manufacturers and distributors are not able to provide the combination of features that meets the needs of the customer. Medical Compression Systems is the only provider that makes the only portable compression device that has been proven to be an effective blood thinner injection for preventing blood clot formations. 6. EFFORTS MADE FOR SOLICITING FROM OTHER VENDORS: An internet search, telephone interviews, and research on previous procurements were made. Another vendor could not be located that could supply all items under contract. In the future other systems will be looked at soliciting as a system. 7. FAIR AND REASONABLE COST DETERMINATION: A Price Negotiation Memorandum (PNM) will detail how the Government has determined that the anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable. 8. MARKET RESEARCH: Market research could not indicate any vendor that could supply the features that the customer was looking for. In the future other systems will be looked at soliciting as a system. 9. SUPPORTING FACTS: The system is unique in two main attributes. The first is the S.F.T. technology, S.F.T. stands for Synchronized Flow Technology, the system actually monitors the venous phasic flow and triggers the compression so that it is in sync with the venous phasic flow, thus creating a very high Pulsatile flow and reaching peak venous velocity at the common femoral vein almost twice as high as that of any other device. The second is the miniaturization and portability of the system which allow it to actually deliver the therapy to the patient in the acute care and post acute settings with very high compliance 10. LISTING OF SOURCES: There are currently no other sources who have expressed interest in this acquisition. 11. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS: As new technology becomes available, review of the current system will be done to see if it can be replaced. This will be done in sufficient time to facilitate full and open competition. 12. CONTRACTING OFFICER: I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance which are included in the J&A are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
