The proposed sole source action is a task order against Intuitive Surgical Inc. award contract VA119-14-D-0001. This contract is a VA-NAC contract developed by the Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC). This IDIQ is available for task orders with a period of performance of 3/10/2018 - 3/9/2019. This action is for a 12 month full-service maintenance contract and is a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract type. Order against: FSS Contract Number: VA119-14-D-0001 Name of Proposed Contractor: Intuitive Surgical Inc. Street Address: 1266 Kifer Road City, State, Zip: Sunnyvale, CA Phone: 408-523-8661 Description of Supplies or Services: The estimated value of the proposed action is $ 171,661.29 The contract will furnish all necessary services, including parts and labor, to maintain the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System for optimum performance.

The total estimated value of the proposed action is $171,661.29 with a period of performance 03/15/2018-03/09/2019. Authority: ORDER AGAINST FSS: Authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program, Title III of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 USC 251, et seq.); Title 40 USC 501, Services for Executive Agencies; and Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 (PL 107-107) and implemented by FAR 8.405-6: Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B)) Due to the highly complex nature of the Davinci dual monitor surgical system it is not possible to have this full-service maintenance contract performed by anyone other than the equipment manufacturer and OEM certified technicians. In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. Items peculiar to one manufacturer: A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. FAR 8.405-6(a)(2)iii. The Davinci Surgical System is a piece High Technical Medical Equipment (HTME) that is patented by the manufacturer and is therefore the maintenance and repair of the system is proprietary and can only be provided by the manufacturer. direct replacements parts/components for the Davinci Surgical System are only available from the manufacturer through OEM certified technicians. The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Only OEM certified technicians with exclusive access to OEM replacement parts can ensure the Davinci Surgical System is maintained to OEM performance standards and specifications. Rational/explanation to support cited authority: Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) negotiates contracts at the National Acquisition Center (NAC) for use by all Network Contracting Offices (NCO) within the Veterans Administration. The pricing under these contracts were already considered to be fair and reasonable. IAW 8.405-4, pricing offered under these NAC contracts is established at a price reduction from standard market rates. MARKET RESEARCH: This determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules. Market research was note conducted at this time, as this service should be sole sourced to the OEM because the proprietary DaVinci system can only be accessed for maintenance and support by the OEM Intuitive Surgical. 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. I understand that processing of this limited sources justification restricts consideration of Federal Supply Schedule contractors to fewer than the number required by FAR Subpart 8.4.
