The requesting activity has submitted VA Form 2237 No. 506-19-1-1527-0006 in the amount of $499,999.00. Description of Action: This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Multiple-Award Schedule Program (41 U.S.C. 251 and 40 U.S.C. 501). Order against: VA/DLA Contract Number: VA797H-17-D-0024 Name of Proposed Contractor: General Electric Company GE Healthcare Street Address: 3000 N. Grandview Blvd, W-443 City, State, Zip: Waukesha, WI 53188 Phone: (919) 244-8792 Description of Supplies or Services: The estimated value of the proposed action is $499,999.00 The services required to meet the Agency s needs are a comprehensive maintenance and repair plan for General Electric manufactured diagnostic imaging equipment located at the Ann Arbor VA Healthcare System. This maintenance and repair plan shall include regular preventative maintenance and emergency repairs during normal working hours in order to maintain the system at the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) specifications. The period of performance shall be October 1, 2018 September 30, 2019. (4) IDENTIFY THE AUTHORITY AND SUPPORTING RATIONALE (see 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A), (B), and (C) or 8.405-6(b)), AND IF APPLICABLE, A DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED SUPPLY OR SERVICE. (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY AND COMPLETE) An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays. 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; The equipment musts be serviced by the OEM due to proprietary operating software, hardware, and parts that are only available from General Electric Company. The service could not be provided by a source other than General Electric Company to ensure the system is functioning to OEM standards. The DLA awarded this contract specifically for the maintenance and repair of high-technology medical equipment within the VA. This contract was competed and General Electric Company was the only respondent for these specific General Electric-manufactured machines. 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. The original order must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited source procedures. Items peculiar to one manufacturer: A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: (If FAR 8.405-6(a)(2)iii before posting. Do not include specific proprietary data. Only mention the type of equipment, procedure, etc. to show that proprietary supplies or services are being procured.) These are direct replacements parts/components for existing equipment. The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system. (5) DESCRIBE WHY YOU BELIEVE THE ORDER REPRESENTS THE BEST VALUE CONSISTENT WITH FAR 8.404(d) TO AID THE CONTRACTING OFFICER IN MAKING THIS BEST VALUE DETERMINATION: This vendor is the manufacturer of the specialized medical equipment and it contains proprietary hardware and software. In order to sustain the integrity of the equipment, it is in the best interest of the Government to award to this contractor. (6) DESCRIBE THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AMONG SCHEDULE HOLDERS AND THE RESULTS OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASON MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Market research was conducted. A search on VetBiz under NAICS code 811219 and keyword GE Systems yielded 156 results, but none of the sources listed have access to OEM proprietary software keys. The original awarded contract was competitively awarded by DLA and General Electric Company was the only respondent for these specific General Electric-manufactured machines. (7) ANY OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING THE JUSTIFICATION: None (8) A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS THAT LED TO THE RESTRICTED CONSIDERATION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION FOR THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES IS MADE: The Government will continue to conduct market research to ascertain if there are changes in the market place that would enable future actions to be competed. (9) 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.
