- Description
- JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION As required by FAR 6.302-2 - Unusual and Compelling Urgency 1.Identification of the Agency and the Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Medical Center, 5000 W. National Ave. Bldg. 5, Milwaukee, WI 53295 2.Nature and/or description of the action being approved: Procure emergency services for the repair of fifteen (15) flexible endoscopes in addition to various other surgical instruments from Instrumedics, LLC. 3. A Description of Supplies/Services required: Jesse Brown VAMC requested the urgent repair of fifteen (15) flexible endoscopes in addition to various other surgical instruments used at the facility. The equipment is in dire need of repair and cannot be used for patient procedures. The Jesse Brown VAMC is in a critical shortage of operable endoscopes in order to meet patient diagnosis and treatment needs. The approximate cost is $45,900.00. 4.Statutory Authority permitting other than full and open competition: FAR 6.302-2(a)(2). The VA's need for the supply is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless VA is permitted to limit the number of sources. (41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(2)). 5.Facilities Unique Qualifications: The facility requires equipment which will allow them to provide safe, advanced and appropriate patient care to the veteran population. Based upon information provided by the service, the emergency repair of the scopes is required. The endoscopes are highly advanced allowing the Jesse Brown VAMC to detect lesions and treat them. The lack of endoscopes create unacceptable delays and cancelations from providing proper care which is creating the possibility of life threatening situations for critically ill patients in the diagnoses of disease progression. 6.Efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable: The Small Purchase Center conducted research and concluded there were no potential sources that had a GSA or FSS contract. This is an urgent request so no other offers were solicited. 7.Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable: Price was confirmed with COTR on past purchases for the same or similar type equipment and is comparable. 8.Market survey conducted: The Small Purchase Center and Contract Service Center researched GSA and FSS for vendors, but none were found. Since this is an emergency request, no further market research was conducted. 9.Other facts: None 10.Other sources expressing an interest: None 11.Actions to remove or overcome any barriers to competition: In the future, the station should plan and ensure a sufficient supply of scopes to meet patient care needs and enact procedures to protect instruments that were damaged. 12.Certification: I certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. Based upon information received from the station, we concur that it is in the best interest of the government to proceed with the emergency procurement with this firm.
