- Description
- Award Notice Repair and Replacement of Digital Portable Detector VA548-A00430 Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition 1. The Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Medical Center West Palm Beach has issued a sole-sourced firm fixed price contract to General Electric Company, 3000 N. Grandview blvd, Waukesha WI 53188-1615 2. The contract is for repair, replacement and calibration of one digital portable detector. 3. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(c)(1) this requirement is being procured under the authority 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1) only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the executive agency. GE holds proprietary rights to the software and parts associated with the GE AMX700 x-ray unit. The portable detector being procured is a component of this unit and must be calibrated by GE. 4. The cost is considered to be fair and reasonable based upon comparison of the contractor's proposed price to the Government estimated costs. 5. Market research was conducted and although other companies were found to have similar equipment, because of the issue of proprietary rights to the software and parts, and the need to be compatible with the existing equipment this unit will become part of, competition was not sought. 6. Full and open competition was not utilized for this contract for the reasons stated in paragraph 3 and 5 above. 7. As this is a sole source acquisition only one contactor was contacted. 8. The contracting officer intends to seek competition for future acquisitions. 9. The contracting officer hereby certifies that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
