- Description
- This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because the procurement is awarded to a sole source under the Test Program for Certain Commercial Items (FAR 13.5). See posted J&A for further information. PRIORITY 3 ACQUISITION MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION BELOW THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD 1. Contracting Agency: Southern Regional Contracting Office - West, Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC), Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234 2. Description of Action: Urgent procurement of Abiomed Blood Pumps. 3. Description of Products/Services: The Abiomed Blood Pumps are life saving devices that are surgically implanted when an open heart patient is unable to be weaned from the heart-lung machine. 4. Authority Cited: -Pursuant to FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting competition. For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officer may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency). -Pursuant to FAR Part 5.202(a)(2), Exceptions. The unusual and compelling requirement will not be advertised. -Pursuant to FAR Part 13.106(c)(1), Soliciting competition. Price and availability will be obtained telephonically. 5. Reason for Cited Authority: The above statutory authority is cited because this is a true, urgent request that has been verified by Janet Rindorf on 27Mar12. The Abiomed Blood Pumps must be available and always on hand because the physician does not know a head of time if weaning will be successful. The current stock is set to expire on 31Mar12 and policy dictates the hospital always have the pumps available. If the physician does not have the Abiomed Blood Pumps available, it could be detrimental to the patient's life as well as the hospital's overall medical mission. 6. Contracting Officer Certification: I certify this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
