Transaction # 689-16-2-7455-0035
This request is for a long term agreement (base plus 4 option years) for a firm-fixed price for the base period of February 1, 2016 through January 30, 2017.
The testing kits and consumables are required for HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus), VZV (Varicella Zoster Virus), Flu A/B & RSV, and CMV (Cytomegalovirus) qualitative and quantitative PCR testing at the Virology Department at the West Haven VA Lab.
These kits are sold by Focus Diagnostics and have been used in the Virology Lab for some time to provide this testing to the VISN 1 Labs as a Reference Lab.
HSV 1 Primer Pair (PN# MOL9003) HSV 2 Primer Pair (PN# MOL9004) VZV Primer Pair (PN# MOL9024) CMV Primer Pair (PN# MOL9002) HSV-1 Gen II Primer Pair (PN# 9037)
Simplexa Extraction & Amplification Ctrl (PN# MOL9000) Simplexa Flu A/B & RSV Positive Control Pack (PN#MOL2660) Simplexa HSV 1&2 Positive Positive Control Pack (PN#MOL2160) Simplexa CMV Molecular Control (PN# MOL8002)

Simplexa HSV 1&2 Direct Kit w/MOL1455 (PN#MOL2150) Simplexa Flu A/B & RSV Direct Kit w/ mol1455 (PN#MOL2650)
The Virology Lab service at the West Haven Campus of the VA Connecticut Healthcare System may order products via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), telephone, facsimile or other written communication, identifying the products by number, quantity, purchase price, address for delivery, and referencing the PO# and any special instructions. Volumes are estimated quantity derived from the previous FY15 usage, but the government does not guarantee volumes as listed; they are estimates ONLY.
Period of Performance: February 1, 2016 to January 30, 2017.
4.	Statutory Authority Permitting Other than Full and Open Competition: 41 USC §253(g), as implemented by FAR 6.302. The specific paragraph must be cited. Most likely, only the -1 or -2
authorities will be cited. Please be aware that failure to adequately plan for future requirements does not constitute appropriate use of the unusual and compelling urgency statutory authority.
X (1) Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements per FAR 6.302-1;
( ) (5) Authorized or Required by Statute FAR 6.302-5; ( ) (6) National Security per FAR 6.302-6;
These test kits and supplies for qualitative and quantitative Viral PCR testing are specific to the Viruses being tested. These kits are specific for the genes that will identify the virus and help to confirm (qualitate) its presence as well as quantitate using PCR technology.
These manufactured tests are built in response to diagnostic testing trends identified and evaluated by Focus Diagnostics.
This testing is already in use in the Virology Lab (Reference Lab for VISN 1 Labs) at VACT and these kits are required in order to provide a continuum of service for VISN 1 Veterans.
This testing has already been validated and implemented so no further cost would be incurred.
This request is to ensure that the kits are available, provide ease of ordering, and fair pricing for the Virology Lab so that this service continues without interruption.
A search on GSA Advantage was done and these products are not available under Federal Supply Schedule contract. Focus Diagnostics was contacted; they are the sole distributor for these kits and supplies. Testing has already been validated and utilized at the VACT Virology Lab providing prompt results to the VISN 1 clinicians. A Sources Sought Advertisement VA241-16-Q-0040 was posted on FBO on 10/27/2015 and it closed on 11/02/2015. There was no response to the advertisement requesting information.
In review of the IGCE, and the NAC Market Research, I see that pricing is comparable for similar items. The pricing on the IGCE is a bit higher, but not more than 10% in most cases. The Only Item that I did not see a comparable price on was the CMV Primer Pair, which shows a price of $2800.00, which seems to be higher in price, however, they are using the term "Pair" which the other companies are not. If pricing is doubled, then pricing is on track with comparable items. I sent the NAC items to the customer who said that none of them will work within the scope of the need for the equipment that is currently being used. It must be Focus Diagnostics supplies. No other supplies will work.
Technical Market Research was used before the VACT Virology department adopted these test procedures for Herpes Virus, Cytomegalovirus and Varicella Zoster Virus. VA CT anticipates expanding their test menu. Several validation studies were required before this testing could be employed and duplication of this process would incur a large expense by the government as well as tech time, etc. to adopt any other method. The clinicians throughout VISN 1 have been relying on this method for their antiviral therapy and prognosis and it has proven to be reliable and provide quick results.
This testing is already taking place in the VACT Virology department for the VISN 1 Labs. No other equipment would be required to continue with this same methodology. The results are reliable and accurate and the clinicians are satisfied with this method.
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:
A review of the technology and methodology will be performed prior to the end of this agreement to determine if any other system or method would be more beneficial to the Government for their patients.

a.	Any damage to finished surfaces shall be replaced or repaired to a condition equal, or better than current conditions.
a.	Work is to be guaranteed for 100% of all labor and materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of completion or acceptance, whichever is later. Contractor shall promptly repair or replace any portion of the work or equipment which fails within this time period, except in the case of VA abuse, VA failure to follow minimum operations and maintenance requirements that have been specifically outlined by the contractor and conveyed in the documentation at acceptance, or by acts of God.
b.	If manufacturer's warranty exceeds one year then contractor shall extend guarantee for the same period for only that equipment or materials.
A.	Summary of Project Terms
All the contaminants that are not compatible with electricity must be eliminated. These contaminants include dust, dirt, moisture, water, rust or anything else that could reduce the efficiency of the electrical system.
2)	Tighten
Loose electrical connections are heat sources that reduce the efficiency of the electric system and ultimately result in the destruction of a portion or portions of the system. An energized alternating-current system is subject to constant vibration, and therefore, connections frequently become loose.
3)	Lubricate
Direct-Acting, circuit breakers, relay-actuated power circuit breakers and switches contain many pivoting or sliding mechanical parts. These parts require lubrication and exercising so that they do not become inoperable because of nonuse.
4)	Inspected
The ratings and settings of electrical devices are checked to assure that they are in accordance with good design and load changes.
5)	Test & Calibrated
The system or protective devices are subjected to abnormal electrical conditions; the operation of the system or devices is compared to the manufacturer's specifications and plant design requirements.
