Description
JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION 1.Identification of (1) the agency (2) the contracting activity. TRANSACTION #523-10-4-7821-0259. Boston V.A. Medical Center, Boston, MA 02130 2.Nature and/or description of the action being approved. Sole Source procurement of a Provel T6 Thermoformer (1 each) 3.Description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency's needs (including the estimated value). The Provel T6 Thermoformer is a fully automated prosthetic socket forming machine that forms sockets from performs and will be used to treat amputees and support the Polytrauma/Amputation Network site at Jamaica Plains. The Unit includes 16, 18, and 25 cm tables and clamp rings, service manual, and a 2-year warranty. This machine will not have access to any patient information. 4.An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. FAR 6.302-1, USC 253 ©(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. 5.A demonstration that the proposed contractor's unique qualification or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited. This manufacturer is the only source for this machine which uses industry standard socket performs for fast, consistent results in forming prosthetic sockets for amputee limbs. 6.Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including whether a FedBizOps notice was or will be published as required by Subpart 5.2 and, if not, which exception under 5.202 applies. None have been made since this is the only manufacturer and seller of this machine. 7.A determination by the contracting officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The cost to the government has been determined to be reasonable and fair. 8.A description of the market research conducted (i.e., names of firms and the date(s) the firms were contacted) and the results or a statement of the reasons a market survey was not conducted. No known market survey was conducted, since the company is the sole manufacturer for this equipment. 9.Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition, such as an explanation why technical data packages, specification, engineering description, statements of work, or purchase descriptions suitable for full and open competition have not been developed or are not available. I have not found this type of equipment from other sources. This system allows full in-house production of custom prostheses to support a heavy workload in the Prosthetics unit. Sockets formed from performs are reputed to be stronger and have less shrinkage that sockets formed from flat sheets. 10. A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition. No others 11. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required. Contracting Activity will continue to encourage full and open competition whenever possible.
