Description of Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency s Needs: 4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other than Full and Open Competition: ( ) (1) Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements per FAR 6.302-1; ( ) (2) Unusual and Compelling Urgency per FAR 6.302-2; ( ) (3) Industrial Mobilization, Engineering, Developmental or Research Capability or Expert Services per FAR 6.302-3; ( ) (4) International Agreement per FAR 6.302-4 ( ) (5) Authorized or Required by Statute FAR 6.302-5; ( ) (6) National Security per FAR 6.302-6; ( ) (7) Public Interest per FAR 6.302-7; FAR13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items: The authority for applying the Simplified Procedures for Commercial Items of FAR 13.5 is 41 U.S.C. 1901 and is implemented by for restricting competition on this procurement via FAR 13.106-1(b)(2). 5. Demonstration that the Contractor s Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority): VISN 6 Infusion pump platform is set up on the Alaris infusion pump system and infusion software suite (Guardrail). The Alaris infusion pump system consist of 8015 PC Unit, 8100 LVP module, 8120 PCA module, and the 8300 EtCO2 module. CareFusion issued an End of Life (EOL) Product letter for the 8015 PC (with 4.7 display) Units. There are currently more than 1200 8015 models throughout the VISN that will no longer be serviced by BD as of 1 January 2019, and three of VISN 6 Medical Centers are connected to a central server to manage the Alaris infusion software (Guardrail) and drug library wirelessly. With our intent to replace the 8015 PC units only, the wireless encryption keys and drug library data will transfer over simultaneously without interruption. The other Medical Centers have an awarded contract and plan to connect to the central server once the new 8015 PC units are replaced.. The cost of replacing the Carefusion/Alaris enterprise system would include replacing over 4000 assets and licenses valued at over $10.6 million dollars not to include replacement of server, implementation, and training costs. This will be a brand name only solicitation. This solicitation will be issued as a brand name only solicitation for Alaris infusion pump system and infusion software suite. This is a upgrade of the existing software that is currently in the facilities. It is not cost effective for VISN 6 to procure equipment that would have to be changed across the entire network. The cost would run into millions of dollars if this was to occur. 6. Description of Efforts Made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as deemed practicable: N/A 7. Determination by the CO that the Anticipated Cost to the Government will be Fair and Reasonable: This product will be competed so it is anticipated that multiple vendors will bid on the product and award will be made utilizing LPTA. 8. Description of the Market Research Conducted and the Results, or a Statement of the Reasons Market Research Was Not Conducted: VIP database (Vetbiz.org) was searched under NAICS 339113- surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing and the result revealed that 146 SDVOSB and 39 VOSB vendors could distribute the product. After further research was condunt an Intent to sole source was initially posted to FBO but a SDVOSB expressed interest in the product which lead the government to believe that this product could be provided by two or more SDVOSB s. 9. Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other than Full and Open Competition: 10. Listing of Sources that Expressed, in Writing, an Interest in the Acquisition: Beacon Pointe RC consolidated Veterans Health Care supply Solutions 11. A Statement of the Actions, if any, the Agency May Take to Remove or Overcome any Barriers to Competition before Making subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required: 12.
