Description

September 8, 2009 JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THEN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 13.106(b)(1) and 6.302-2(b)(1) 1. The South Texas Veterans Health Care System, Audie L. Murphy Division, intends to negotiate with Integra Lifesciences Corporation., 311 Enterprise Drive, Plainsboro, NJ 08536-3344 for a firm fixed price Service Agreement IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation competition 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(3) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). 2. The requirement is for services to repair the Radionics Omnisight Excel Surgical Navigation System. The Navigation System information is as follows: Manufacturer: Integra; EE # 79549; Model: 0S100L; SN: 0S0027. 3. The Surgical Service has a Bona Fide need to procure repair services for the navigational system. 4. In accordance with 10. U.SC. 2304(c)(3), 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(3), Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1) and 6.302-2(b). 5. This service is required to continue the use of image guided neurosurgery in the operating room. This is an urgent and compelling need. The computer system has crashed. The STVHCS relies on this system in the operating room frequently. For VA Beneficiaries to receive appropriate care, the VA is forced to fee for service at a higher cost per patient than if theVA system was functional. Delay in repairing this system will result in substantial cost incurred. 6. A Combined Synopsis and Solicitation will not be posted in the Federal Business Opportunity System, under FAR authority 6.302-2, due to the bone fide need to the care of VA patients. 7. It is anticipated that the negotiated cost to the Government for this procurement will be fair and reasonable. 8. Market research: there are no known contracts with the government, and the service required is specific to the manufacturer of the item as they are familiar to the model itself. Based on my market research for companies to repair Integra Model: 0S100L, there was no one who was listed in GSA or on the internet who had the capability to repair this type of equipment. As a result of the market research it was determined that only one company could provide the required items, so in accordance with FAR Part 13.106(b) (1) procurement action was initiated. 9. Another vendor or repair service provider who may not work on this type model is not justifiable. It would be technically incapable to have an unknown vendor or service supplier source to work on this mode. It is justifiable to have the manufacture or supplier whom the item was purchased to repair the model. This would save the time for the continued use of the product and money based on the need of the required repairable service due to the serviced patients. To alter vendor and/or manufacture would disrupt if not negate patient care. Integra Lifesciences Corporation is a large company, registered in CCR and not on debarred listings. 10. Only one responsible source is intended under authorities of FAR 6.302-2(b)(1) & (2) and 13.106(b)(1). 11. I hereby certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Technical/Requirements Certification: I hereby certify that any supporting data that is the responsibility of the Technical/Requirements personnel and which forms the basis for this justification is accurate and complete. ______/s/ _____Charlie Herring______________9/8/09____________ Technical/Requirements Personnel SignatureDate /s//s/ CHARLES TRUMPFHELLERSHAUNDRICA CLOSE Contracting Officer Contracting Specialist * /s/ original pdf file
