The estimated quantity is 150 per year with an estimated value of $35,000 per year (total contract value is $175,000.00). The Balloon Catheters will be purchased by credit card transaction after use and a replacement will be sent to the consignment inventory within a 24 hour period. Period of performance for base year: October 28, 2013 through October 27, 2014 (approximate) 4.Statutory Authority Permitting Other than Full and Open Competition: ( X ) (1) Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements per FAR 13.501(a), Simplified Acquisition (Test Program) Sole Source and 38 U.S.C. § 8123 Procurement of Prosthetic Appliances 5.Demonstration that the Contractor's Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority): Surgically implanted products (prostheses) are specified by the clinical team to meet the unique and comprehensive needs of each Veteran with an identified medical indication.
