Description

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: 656-15-1-083-00031A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $35,000.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Complete installations and commissioning of 20 Guldmann, Inc. GH3 ceiling mounted patient lift/mobility systems in 20 separate room locations as part of phase 3 of the Bldg 49 renovation. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED:. The patient lift systems purchased by VHASTC are manufactured by Guldmann Lift, Inc. Installation requires the physical installation of the lift system as well as final calibration and weight testing of installed equipment. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: No other vendor is authorized or trained by the manufacturer to install and weight test the equipment inclusive in this system. Guldmann Lift, Inc. will not support any equipment warranty or accept liability where initial installation calibration and testing were not performed by their own technicians. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Extensive research was done via the internet and telephone conversations with the vendor to determine the existence of available vendors certified to install and certify Guldmann Lift, Inc. patient lift systems. Guldmann Lift, Inc. stated they have no outside source commissioned to install their patient lift systems. 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. Signature: Chad L. Raterman Date:____________________ Name: Chad L.
