- VHAPM Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K) Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C260-19-AP-0510 Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN20, Portland VA Medical Center 2237: 648-19-2-093-1749 Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: Emergency request for Nanosphere Verigene Blood Culture Test Kits and Consumables. Estimated amount: $54,666.00 Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: This is a Portland laboratory emergency request for Blood Gram Culture Test Kits. The existing contract will expire 1/7/2019 and is a critical need to patient care. A continuity of a contract is required as to not lose service for the laboratory. A delay could result in a risk to patient care, increased risk to staff, and increased risk to patients due to the potential of erroneous test results. This is a compelling and urgent requirement to have the Portland Laboratory remain operational. A requirement to solicit and award to another vendor would be delay patient care due to technical evaluation and replacing current equipment that utilizes these proprietary consumables. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted but due to the urgent and compelling need we will stay with the current test kit company for familiarity. The market research explains the life threatening results if these tests are not completed in a timely manner. 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. Jodi R. Stevenson 462949 Digitally signed by Jodi R.
