VHAPG Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT Last Updated: 02/01/22 Page 1 of 1 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: 36C252-22-AP-2435 Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs Great Lakes Acquisition Center, NCO-12 115 S. 84th Street, Suite 101 Milwaukee, WI 53214-1476 William S Middleton Memorial VAH 2500 Overlook Terrace Madison, WI 53705 607-22-3-969-0147 Brief description of supplies/services required and the intended use/estimated amount: The William S Middleton Memorial VAH in Madison, Wisconsin has a need for the purchase and delivery of a ACIST CVi Standard Contrast Delivery System and accessory items to be utilized by the VAH Cardiac Catheterization lab. Estimated Amount: [REDACTED] Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Cardiac Catheterization lab requires a way to access the functionality of significant coronary artery lesions prior to an intervention procedure. Currently their (non-interventional) catheterization physicians have no way of evaluating these lesions prior to enlisting the help of the interventionalists. This can cause significant delays during which the patient is on the procedure table with a catheter in an artery. The current catheterization lab x-ray system is no longer supported by the manufacturer for software upgrades. Most of the vendors of the required type of system have software/hardware as part of their x-ray systems and do not manufacture it for their competitors. The ACIST CVi Standard Contrast Delivery System would allow the catheterization physicians to evaluate the disease and determine whether a percutaneous intervention (PCI) is an option or if the patient should be sent to surgery or medical management. If a patient was found to not have lesions amenable to PCI, they would not need to wait for the Interventionalist to arrive to make the determination for treatment.
