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: n/a 1A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER: n/a 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT:
2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE:
The Salt Lake VAMC has a requirement for Tornado, MReye and Nester Embolization Coils and Advance Balloon Catheters. The embolization coils are used in multiple procedures relating to removing malformations and lesions. The Tornado embolization coil is used for embolization of selective vessel supply to arteriovenous malformations and other vascular lesions. Tornado embolization coils are ideally suited for tapering vessel situations. The MReye embolization coil is used in peripheral arterial and venous vessel embolization procedures. The Nester embolization coil is used for arterial and venous vessel embolization. The balloon catheters are used for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of lesions in peripheral arteries, including the iliac, renal, popliteal, infrapopliteal, femoral and iliofemoral arteries, as well as obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED:
The physicians have received additional training on these specific embolization coils and balloon catheters, and have been using them exclusively. Using Cook Medical's embolization coils and balloon catheters removes the need for additional training. The physicians have used other products in the past, but have experienced increased patient safety and reduced recovery time and hospital stay.
4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES:
Cook Medical is the sole manufacturer of the Tornado, MReye and Nester embolization coils as well as the Advance balloon catheter. The Salt Lake VAMC already has the equipment to place these items in patients.
5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED:
A review of national contracts and prime vendors showed that this requirement is not available from a VA NAC contract source. A review of current WSNC BPAs as well as VISN, regional and local IDIQs did not find any vendors able to fulfill this requirement. Other sources including, AbilityOne, Federal Prison Industries (FPI) and excess stock from other agencies returned negative results. An internet search showed that these items are available via open market.
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.
