This is an urgent procurement for COVID-19 equipment. The Durham VA Medical Center has an immediate need of an equipment upgrade to the Alinity M Analyzer for the purposes of integrating into the workflow easily, to allow multiple assays to be run at the same time, e.g. SARS-CoV-2, HIV, HCV and other assays in development. The Alinity M system can decrease turnaround time for other assays instead of batching which we do currently. The system can be interfaced through the Abbott Link for faster results entry and reduce entry errors for better patient safety. Beyond the COVID pandemic, this instrument will be available for test menu expansion including transplantation infectious diseases needs. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: This an urgent procurement is for a highly specialized laboratory equipment for COVID-19 testing. The Alinity M will give the Microbiology the ability to run multiple assays at the same time, and give them the ability to run up to 1,080 tests in 24 hours. Abbott Molecular a large business is the sole source provider of this equipment. Abbott Molecular have no small business partnerships to procure through for this equipment. No other supplies or services will be able to match the efficiency and provide the testing capabilities provided by the Alinity M Analyzer system. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: VIP was searched using NAICS code 334516 and keyword search Alinity. No potential SD/VOSBs populated as a result of the query. GSA Advantage, GSA Library, ECAT, NAC MedSurg, and Mandatory Contract Listing website were all searched yielded no contracts in place for the Alinity M Analyzer. Correspondence was exchanged with Abbott to see if they had any partnerships with small businesses for this equipment. Their response was that they had no partnerships with small businesses for this equipment and that they are the sole source. 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. ____________________________ ________________________ Isaac Hernandez Keeshia Newman Contract Specialist NCO 06 Division 1 Chief
