Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources. VHA Directive 2011-015 requires reducing the equipment that needs Ethylene Oxide gas sterilization.

The Salem VAMC currently owns two washer/disinfectors, a Steris and a Getinge. The Steris washer/disinfector has reached the end of its usuable life and requires replacement. IAW VHA Directives 2009-004 and 2009-031, the Salem VAMC intends to standardize the washers/disinfectors by purchasing a second Getinge washer/disinfector. (5) DESCRIBE WHY YOU BELIEVE THE ORDER REPRESENTS THE BEST VALUE CONSISTENT WITH FAR 8.4 TO AID THE CONTRACTING OFFICER IN MAKING THIS BEST VALUE DETERMINATION: Standardization enhances patient care and reduces risk of disease transmission because the sterilization service can use one sterilization SOP, standardized cleaning solutions, and standardized maintenance procedures.
