- Description
- JUSTIFICATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS IAW FAR 13.106-1 (OVER MICRO-PURCHASE THRESHOLD($3K) BUT NOT EXCEEDING THE SAT ($150K)) IAW FAR13.104, COs must promote competition to the maximum extent practicable to obtain supplies and services from the source whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government, considering the administrative cost of the purchase. When competition is not practicable, IAW FAR13.106-1(b), COs solicit from a single source for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. COs may solicit from one source if the CO determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3),COs are required to include additional statements explaining the absence of competition (see 13.106-1 for brand name purchases) if only one source is solicited and the acquisition does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (does not apply to an acquisition of utility services available from only one source) or supporting the award decision if other than price-related factors were considered in selecting the supplier. This template when completed can be used to document single source awards IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3). Note: Statements such as "only known source" or "only source which can meet the required delivery date" are inadequate to support a sole source purchase. 1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER: 646-16-1-080-00381A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER None1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $61,754.40 Base plus four option years 2.

This includes the following: A Microbial Identification System that is an FDA approved, DNA direct probe detection test for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of G. vaginalis, Candida spp. and T. vaginalis from a single vaginal specimen. The abilities require include the following; "Utilizes unique DNA probes targeted to the RNA of the three organisms. "does not involve amplification (i.e., not a PCR test) "the test uses two distinct single-stranded nucleic acid probes for each organism "results are presented as a clearly visible blue color for positive specimens "requires only 32 minutes of automated processing; total results in less than one hour "is not affected by the interfering substances commonly tested 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: The BD Affirm is the analyzer of choice for the majority of VISN 4. Having the same instrumentation would permit inter hospital sharing of reagents due to unforeseen circumstances. The Microprobe Processer is only offered by the manufacturer and is provided at no cost to the Pittsburgh VA Healthcare System to perform these tests. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: The manufacturer does not allow any 3rd party vendor to provide this instrument. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Sources Sought Notices were posted to GSA eBuy and FBO, no responses were received. 6. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
