Solicitation Number: VA24911RQ0553 Notice Type: Justification and Approval (J&A) J&A Statutory Authority: FAR 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source (except brand name) Contract Award Date: October 1, 2011 Contract Award Number: NA Synopsis: NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE VISN 9 Network Contract Activity, Murfreesboro, Tennessee intends to award a sole source fixed-price service for the acquisition of a certified and trained engineer to perform scheduled Planned Maintenance (PM) and unscheduled repairs on Agency's existing trademarked Sterrad systems. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate sole award under authority of FAR Part 6.302-1, (b) (1) (i) Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency's requirements and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals. JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION PURCHASE REQUEST: 614-12-1-069-0001 1. Contracting Activity: VISN 9 Network Contract Activity, 1639 Medical Center Parkway, Suite 400, Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37129. Services: The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 9 Network Contract Activity proposes to enter into a contract on the basis of other than full and open competition for the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Biomedical Engineering,1030 Jefferson Ave., Memphis, TN 38104. 2. Description of Action: The Justification for the use of Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) is contained in FAR 6.302-1. In effect, a Sole Source Firm-Fixed Price Service Contract is being requested by Biomedical Engineering. VISN 9 Network Contract Activity intends to negotiate and award a Sole source service contract to Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP), a company currently used and also servicing agent in the Memphis VA Medical Center (VAMC) system. 3. Description of Supplies/Services: This requirement is for the acquisition to acquire a trained and certified engineer to perform scheduled planned maintenance (PM) and unscheduled repairs on VAMC Memphis ™ existing trademarked STERRAD systems. It also requires the provision of personnel, management, material, parts, equipment, supplies, labor and transportation. Since equipment, parts, and maintenance/technical support services are currently covered under company warranty, only an authorized Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) engineer can perform required preventive maintenance and repair services on the sterilization systems and equip the STERRAD Model 100 NX and STERRAD Model 100S with proprietary parts. In addition, these systems are high-demand devices used in the processing of medical instrumentation. The estimated value for this FY12 requirement is $31,529.85. 4. Authority Cited: The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1) Competition Requirement as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart FAR 6.302-1 entitled Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), when the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for. Further, FAR Subpart 6.302-1(c) prescribes acquisitions using brand name description or other purchase description to specify a particular brand name, product, or feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer does not provide for full and open competition regardless of the number of sources solicited. 5. Reason for Authority Cited: In accordance with (IAW) company policy and service agreement terms and conditions, only engineers trained and certified by Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) are authorized to repair and/or service ASP ™s trademarked STERRAD systems and provide proprietary parts available solely from the servicing company. Therefore, compliance is required: service attempted or performed by any person or company not authorized to perform such service will constitute a breach of the agreement and will consequently void the warranty on the STERRAD systems currently in operation at Memphis VA Medical Center. 6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: NA
