FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays: FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B): Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized: Olympus America, Inc. is the only manufacturer that can provide the necessary equipment/services to meet the requirements of Gastroenterology/Pulmonary Services. No other OEM can supply the necessary scopes that are compatible with existing imaging equipment. Because the department utilizes Olympus scopes and imaging systems exclusively, it is vitally important that standardization, compatibility, and interchangeability remain intact. Additionally, Biomedical Engineering staff are already familiar with the Olympus items listed above. Changing OEMs would require a substantial investment in new procedure/service infrastructure (scopes, imaging equipment, software) and unnecessarily disrupt patient care and continuity. FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited source procedures. FAR 8.405-6(b): Items peculiar to one manufacturer: A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: These are direct replacements parts/components for existing equipment. The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. (5) Describe Why You Believe the Order Represents the Best Value consistent with FAR 8.404(d) to aid the contracting officer in making this best value determination: This lease is not just needed for the standardization of Olympus equipment, but it must attach to and communicate with other existing equipment/software throughout the facility that are not a part of this procurement. Pricing for leased equipment has been determined fair and reasonable since required items fall under FSS contract. However, IAW FAR 8.405-4, Contracting Specialist will seek a price reduction. (6) Describe the Market Research Conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted: NAICS Code 339112 was searched on SBA VetCert and 577 results were obtained. VetBiz (VIP) was also searched for the above NAICS code and keyword Olympus produced one result. A DSBS search (using NAICS 339112 and keyword Olympus ) produced one result. A GSA Advantage query was performed, and Olympus America is the only vendor with these scopes on contract. Olympus was contacted and they confirmed they do utilize any distributors for equipment leases. (7) Any Other Facts Supporting the Justification: There are no additional facts supporting this justification. (8) A Statement of the Actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made: The Government will continue to conduct thorough market research to monitor marketplace capabilities for similar requirements in the future. (9) Requirements Certification: I certify that the requirement outlined in this justification is a Bona Fide Need of the Department of Veterans Affairs and that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification, are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that processing of this limited sources justification restricts consideration of Federal Supply Schedule contractors to fewer than the number required by FAR Subpart 8.4.
