Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Great Lakes Healthcare System | Published October 29, 2015
JUSTIFICATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS IAW FAR 13.106-1 (OVER MICRO-PURCHASE THRESHOLD($3K) BUT NOT EXCEEDING THE SAT ($150K)) IAW FAR13.104, COs must promote competition to the maximum extent practicable to obtain supplies and services from the source whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government, considering the administrative cost of the purchase. When competition is not practicable, IAW FAR13.106-1(b), COs solicit from a single source for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. COs may solicit from one source if the CO determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3),COs are required to include additional statements explaining the absence of competition (see 13.106-1 for brand name purchases) if only one source is solicited and the acquisition does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (does not apply to an acquisition of utility services available from only one source) or supporting the award decision if other than price-related factors were considered in selecting the supplier. This template when completed can be used to document single source awards IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3). Note: Statements such as "only known source" or "only source which can meet the required delivery date" are inadequate to support a sole source purchase. 1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER: 695-16-1-133-0031	1A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER : N/A	1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $15,108.00 base year 2.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: Vendor verification statement of sole source on file. Perkin Elmer is the OEM of Clarus 500 Gas Chromatograph S/N 650N5093003, and one (1) Clarus 500 Mass Spectrometer Turbo, S/N 615N5092201, located in Room F317-1 at the William Hines Jr VAMC. PerkinElmer does not certify third party technical service nor do they have any dealers or distributors selling parts. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: PerkinElmer Health Sciences, Inc. is the sole source for factory new or factory remanufactured parts, local service representation and factory trained/certified engineers to provide service and installation for all instrumentation manufactured and sold by PerkinElmer, Inc. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: For PerkinElmer, there is a GSA contract however, per Sarah Enos; Contract Support Specialist for PerkinElmer Health Sciences, Inc., PerkinElmer does not have any services on their GSA Contract. After reviewing the SDVOSB/VOSB on the VIP page, this service is not available through a SDVOSB or VOSB. Due to the certainty based on market research that this type of service can only be fulfilled directly by the manufacturer. Posted intent to sole source VA69D-15-Q-1337 to FBO on August 28, 2015. Upon response deadline, September 2, 2015, no other vendors responded. 6. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b).

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: 3M software is proprietary. Any deviation other than trained manufacturer personnel and OEM parts, could result in an adverse effect on the reliability of equipment. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: 3M has proprietary software. In order to maintain integrity of equipment, manufacturer trained technicians must perform service and maintenance; OEM parts must be used. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: Contract Specialist performed an internet search for potential third party vendors to provide service work on EtO sterilizers manufactured by 3M (no vendor found). Called 3M service center (talked to Natalie Sanders) to establish a quote, the information provided was that Biomed personnel at Madison VAMC could be provided training (for a cost) to provide training to service these sterilizers, but 3M does not authorize or train third party contractor to perform the requested work/service. It was also verified that, although the equipment (and most parts) are under GSA contract, the actual service for this equipment is considered open market.

Acquisitions using simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 13.5 are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6, but sole source acquisitions still require written justification and approval using the format FAR 6.302-2. 3.	Description of Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency's Needs: Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital, Hines, Illinois and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Medical Center require preventative maintenance and regular and emergency repairs to the Bruker Daltonics, Inc. MALDI Bip-Typer Instruments automated equipment to support microbiological testing services of the laboratory.

Demonstration that the Contractor's Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority): Bruker Daltonics, Inc. is the original manufacturer of the MALDI Bio-Typer Instrument. Bruker Daltonics, Inc. has proprietary ownership over replacement parts for these highly specialized laboratory testing instruments. Further, Bruker Daltonics, Inc. have the only technicians authorized with the proper training to be able to service the equipment at the Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital, Hines, Illinois and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 6.	Description of Efforts Made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as deemed practicable: An intent to sole source will be posted prior to making an award. Market research has identified 44 similar awards from other VA facilities to Bruker Daltonics, Inc. via FPDS-NG. A sole source letter was provided to the facility from Brett R. Wright, Order Processing Manager for Bruker Daltronics, stating "only factory authorized engineers employed by Daltronics are trained and authorized to maintain and repair this equipment. There is no availability for any 3rd party vendors, or subcontracting possibilities." 7.	Determination by the Contracting Officer that the Anticipated Cost to the Government will be Fair and Reasonable: This requirement had not been previously awarded. Contract VA245-14-C-0073 was awarded to Bruker Daltronics in 2014 for a single facility. OY1 was recently exercised on May 8, 2015 in the amount of $30,173.85. This is in relative relation to the quote provided to us by Bruker Daltronics for each facility per year. This equipment was purchased in 2014 from the manufacturer, and until recently had been covered under the included warranty in the original purchase price. Purchase price for the equipment to include the warranty was $240,613.60 per facility for a combined value of $481,227.20. 8.	Description of the Market Research Conducted and the Results, or a Statement of the Reasons Market Research Was Not Conducted: Market Research was conducted via the Federal Supply Schedule, The Small Business Administration Dynamic Small Business Search Tool using NAICS 811219 and keywords "Bruker, MALDI, Biotyper, and Bio-typer" produced no results. Contact with Bruker Daltonics, Inc. confirmed they are the sole provider of parts and labor and all service is proprietary to the original manufacturer. Given the highly specialized nature of the equipment and the potential adverse impact to patient health of using non-original parts, it was determined to procure these services from Bruker Daltonics, Inc. 9.	Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other than Full and Open Competition: Until Bruker Daltonics, Inc. permits other vendors to purchase their parts for resale and provides training on how to properly service and repair the MALDI Bio-Typer Instruments, no other sources will be able to develop to meet these requirements. 10.	Listing of Sources that Expressed, in Writing, an Interest in the Acquisition: None 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: Contracting Officer will continue to canvas the market place, but it is highly unlikely that another vendor will be able to acquire sufficient access to replacement parts and technician training to meet these requirements.
