JUSTIFICATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS IAW FAR 13.106-1 (OVER MICRO-PURCHASE THRESHOLD($3.5K) 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. ACQUISITION PLAN ACTION ID: 659-16-2-934-00281A. PROJECT/TASK No.1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $7190 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Kirby Lester KL1 Tablet Counting System for the WG Hefner VA Medical Center, Salisbury, NC. Items need to be standardized to match the existing equipment currently being used in the Pharmacy. Brand name Only requested. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: The Salisbury VAMC Pharmacy needs 2 additional KL1s for to help ensure pharmacy service has adequate, efficient, and accurate pill counting automation. Pharmacy service requires this standardized automation in order to support their high volume workload while maintaining dispensing efficiency and accuracy. These items need to be standardized to match the existing equipment currently being used in the Pharmacy. Brand Name Only requested. This standardized automation is a key component in the pharmacy service system that assists with providing good customer service by preventing counting errors, maintaining low wait times, and preventing customer complaints. 4. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Market Research reveals previous purchase VA246-16-P-5958, which was awarded as a Sole Source. Sources Sought will be conducted to determine if there are any VOSB/SDVOSB vendors that can provide the equipment, in an effort to comply with the FY 2016 Small Business Procurement Review Program Policy Memorandum, dated 06/22/2016. 5. 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. Note: COs are required to make a determination of price reasonableness IAW FAR 13.106-3.
