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: 1A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: The Trimano Support Arm acts as the surgical team's third hand" by securely and safely holding the patient's arm in the desired positions during arthroscopic and/or open shoulder surgery performed in the beach chair position. This device can attached to any OR table / existing beach chair equipment. No additional power or air connections are required. The patient's arm can be moved in multiple directions by pressing the Trimano Support Arm's handle. Releasing the handle locks it into the desired position. This system eliminates the need for a support person to hold the patient's arm, thereby reducing inefficiency of OR support staff and technical errors that would adversely impact patient safety. An associated kit includes a sterile drape for the Support Arm, foam arm holder, and Coban. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: This device is compatible to the beach chair equipment and any OR table that is currently used at Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: Other manufactures did not offer spring load equipment. Other devices would need hydraulic gas pressure and foot pedals to operate. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: This device can attached to any OR table including the existing beach chair equipment that is used at CNVAMC. 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.
