Description

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Justification and Approval (J&A) For Other Than Full and Open Competition (>$150K) Acquisition Plan Action ID: VA251-16-AP-0590 1.Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Medical Center 2215 Fuller Rd. Ann Arbor MI 48105 VISN 11: Facilities Management Purchase Request Number: 506-16-1-522-0036 2.Nature and/or Description of the Action Being Processed: This is a sole source justification for a firm fixed price purchase order to General Electric Company, 3000 N Grandview Blvd., W-443, Waukesha, WI 53188. FAR13.5 Test Program: 3.Description of Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency's Needs: The MRI has to be ramped down by GE, have the magnet move, perform a screen room test, ramp the MRI back up, perform a passive shim and do an entire system re-calibration. Final acceptance of the MRI will be performed by VAMC Ann Arbor once GE has completed their recalibration and testing has been completed. The estimated value for labor, travel, 3T ramp down, magnet move, screen room test, ramp up, passive Shim and system re-calibration is $130,052.00. The estimated value for the 850 liters cryogen coolant is $29,750.00. The estimated total value of this acquisition is $159,802.00. The period of performance is from November 16, 2015 through March 1, 2016 at completion of project. 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 6.302-1 (X) (2) Unusual and Compelling Urgency per FAR 6.302-2; ( ) (3) Industrial Mobilization, Engineering, Developmental or Research Capability or Expert Services per FAR 6.302-3; ( ) (4) International Agreement per FAR 6.302-4 ( ) (5) Authorized or Required by Statute FAR 6.302-5; ( ) (6) National Security per FAR 6.302-6; ( ) (7) Public Interest per FAR 6.302-7; FAR13.5 Test Program: 5.Demonstration that the Contractor's Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority): Only the original manufacturer is able to maintain this complex and delicate equipment that is an integral part of the facility. The GE MRI 3.0T Discovery is a proprietary system. GE Healthcare is the only authorized manufacturer/vendor who can obtain OEM parts for replacement. Third party vendors and equipment will void any agreement with GE on warranty and guarantee on the performance of the equipment. 6.Description of Efforts Made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as deemed practicable: This contract is for the support of GE OEM equipment, where OEM parts are only manufactured by GE. This equipment is only serviced by GE and the use of a third party vendor would void the warranty already established for the equipment. Also, any and all third party vendors would be less cost effective than using GE for the equipment support. 7.Determination by the Contracting Officer that the Anticipated Cost to the Government will be Fair and Reasonable: The anticipated cost will be considered fair and reasonable due to historical information on similar requirements of this nature. 8.Description of the Market Research Conducted and the Results, or a Statement of the Reasons Market Research Was Not Conducted: Market research turned up no other viable service providers to support for the full scope of all GE Imaging systems in this facility. In view of the availability to contract the manufacturer to perform the repairs required, we elected to follow suit and contract GE. Market research on the internet and GSA website recovered no other vendors authorized to perform this specific service. GE is the only vendor able to provide these services. 9.Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other than Full and Open Competition: GE is the manufacturer of the aforementioned equipment that requires and is the only provider that is capable of providing the range of services specified by the manufacturer. The range of service that only GE can provide will prove beneficial in the overall cost effectiveness in maintaining and operating the GE 750w 3.0T MRI Discovery, workstations and assorted equipment. 10.Listing of Sources that Expressed, in Writing, an Interest in the Acquisition: No other sources expressed interest, as GE is the only source capable of supporting the equipment. 11.A Statement of the Actions, if any, the Agency May Take to Remove or Overcome any Barriers to Competition before Making subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required: Should a requisition of this nature occur again we will perform a new market survey to locate possible new vendors. 12.Requirements Certification: I certify that the requirement outlined in this justification is a Bona Fide Need of the Department of Veterans Affairs and that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification, are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. ___________ ________________ Name:Date Title: Facility: 13.Approvals in accordance with the VHAPM, Volume 6, Chapter VI: OFOC SOP. a.Contracting Officer's Certification (required): I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. _____________________________ ________________________ Date Contracting Officer Network Contracting Office 11 b.Director of Contracting /Designee (Required $150K and above): I certify the justification meets requirements for other than full and open competition. _____________________________ ________________________ Date Supervisory Contracting Specialist Network Contracting Office 11
