- Description
- JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION As required by FAR 6.302-2 - Unusual and Compelling Urgency 1.Identification of the Agency and the Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Medical Center, 5000 W. National Ave. Bldg. 5, Milwaukee, WI 53295 2.Nature and/or description of the action being approved: Emergency procurement of thirty (30) B. Braun Outlook 100 Safety Infusion Pumps for the Jesse Brown VAMC, Chicago IL. 3. A Description of Supplies/Services required: The Jesse Brown VAMC has requested the purchase of thirty (30) B. Braun Outlook 100 Safety Infusion Pumps. The Infusion Pumps are required in order to provide direct patient care for "critical care" patients. The Outlook 100 Safety Infusion Pumps are no longer manufactured, only remanufactured pumps may be procured. B. Braun currently offers a one (1) warranty with the purchase of the remanufactured pumps. The Outlook 100 Safety Infusion Pumps are required to maintain staff familiarity of equipment in order to create as little disturbance to critical care patients. 4.Statutory Authority permitting other than full and open competition: FAR 6.302-2(a)(2). The VA's need for the supply is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless VA is permitted to limit the number of sources. (41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(2)). 5.Facilities Unique Qualifications: Unusual and compelling urgency. Due to an increased patient load the facility has run out of infusion pumps. 6.Efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable: The Small Purchase Center and Contract Service Center conducted research and concluded there were no viable GSA contracts for the product. 7.Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable: Price was compared and confirmed with the end user on past purchases for the same or similar type equipment and is comparable. 8.Market survey conducted: The Small Purchase Center and Contract Service Center researched GSA and no vendors were found for this product. Since this is an emergency request, no further market research was conducted. 9.Other facts: None 10.Other sources expressing an interest: None 11.Actions to remove or overcome any barriers to competition: In the future, the station should identify and research projects, plan ahead and identify special equipment needs before they become an emergency. 12.Certification: I certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. Based upon information received from the station, we concur that it is in the best interest of the government to proceed with the emergency procurement with this firm.
