VHAPG 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: 688-23-4-305-0206 Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 05, Washington DC VA Medical Center Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: Cohesic CardioDI MR Cardiac MRI reporting software with CVI42 integratability. The software will allow for organized and standard reporting, as well as the ability to import analysis parameters from CVI42 as a baseling for a formalized report. Estimated cost: Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Cohesic CardioDI MR was found to be the only system that integrates with CVI42 which is the current analysis tool used by Cardiology at the DC VAMC. It also consists of a database of analyzed parameters that is beyond current capabilities and exceeds those offered by most contenders. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: There are two VHA directives that mandate quality assured equipment. They are the VHA Directives 1129 and 1414. Equipment and clinical application are highly technical and specialized resulting in a limited or single source for equipment manufacturing that can be used in a clinical setting. 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. 8/4/2023 Date Last Updated: 02/01/22 Page 1 of 1
