Chapter VI: Other Than Full and Open Competition (OFOC) SOP Attachment 4: Single Source Justification for SAP under $150K OFOC SOP Revision 05 Page 1 of 2 Original Date: 03/22/11 Revision 05 Date: 05/02/2016 JUSTIFICATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS IAW FAR 13.106-1 (OVER MICRO-PURCHASE THRESHOLD($3.5K) 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. ACQUISITION PLAN ACTION ID: 598-17-3-784-0268 1A. PROJECT/TASK No. 598-15-2-1111-0115 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $40,086.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Medical surgical equipment neurology headrest and clamp, manufacturered by Intregra LifeSciences: Model: MAYFIELD INFINITY XR2 BASE UNIT quantity 1 each Model: MAYFIELD INFINITY XR2 SKULL CLAMP quantity 1 each Will be used by the Neurosurgeons in the prone or supine position to secure patients head in the proper position and prevent movement during surgery which could result in further damage to the spine. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: Maximum Rigidity, Easy Positioning, Wide Imaging Window, Excellent rigidity for procedures using x-ray imaging, including Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA),Set-up and positioning is easy with the simplified linkage components that are secured by color-coded knobs, saving operating room time, Horizontal bar provides a wide imaging window - full, side-to-side lateral positioning (21.5 inches/54.6cm), For use with the MAYFIELD Infinity XR2 Radiolucent Skull Clamp (A2114) or the A2002 Radiolucent Skull Clamp. Central Arkansas Healthcare System (CAVHS) currently owns this type of headrest, this is for expansion of the existing operating rooms, (Project 2F). The purchase is for additional headrest and must match the existing used equipment per the neurology. 4. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: This procurement for this equipment will allow for expansion of surgical procedures at CAVHS in our existing operating rooms and new operating room suites to help reduce service back logs and cancelations. This neuro headrest will enable continuation of similarly used items in our existing operating room(s). This will also provide continuity of care to our Veteran patients; due to familiarity of staff and surgeons with our existing neuro headrest. The Contracting Officer (CO) reviewed the list of SDVOSB and VOSB under the NAICS for 339113, as more than two were viewed. The CO contacted the manufacturer via phone on 7/13/2017 and spoke with customer service representative and confirmed that the manufacturer did not have a SDVOSB or VOSB authorized distributor for this equipment. The manufacturer could only provide authorized distributors in the small business category, or other large businesses. 5. 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. Note: COs are required to make a determination of price reasonableness IAW FAR 13.106-3. See the Commercial Supply and Service SOP for Price Reasonableness templates.
