Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Single Source Justification for awards over the Micro-Purchase Threshold but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, prepared in accordance with FAR 13.106-1. It justifies the procurement of the Avvigo+ Mobile Guiding System for the Iowa City VA Medical Center.

• Supplies/Services: Avvigo+ Mobile Guiding System for Cardiology Cath Lab.
• Intended Use: To be used for multiple procedures within the Cath Lab.
• Estimated Amount: $108,000.00.
• Unique Characteristics: The Avvigo+ system is required due to its full functional compatibility with existing Boston Scientific inventory (wires, catheters, consoles, accessories). Using a different system would necessitate replacing existing capital assets and disposable inventory, leading to higher costs and operational disruption. The estimated cost of current Boston Scientific expendable inventory is $404,451.87.
• Market Research: Market research indicated that due to recent issues with Boston Scientific's SDVOSB vendor change, Veterans Health no longer has an authorized distributor. Boston Scientific is now utilizing Wolfpack Medical as their sole provider to the government for this product.

This document explains why the government intends to sole-source the procurement of the Avvigo+ Mobile Guiding System. It highlights the system's unique compatibility requirements with existing Boston Scientific equipment and the significant costs and risks associated with using alternative systems. It also notes a change in the authorized distributor for Boston Scientific products.

• Reason for Single Source: The Avvigo+ system is required for interventional cardiology procedures and is uniquely compatible with existing Boston Scientific equipment (wires, catheters, consoles, accessories) at the Iowa City VA HCS. Using a different system would necessitate replacing existing capital assets and disposable inventory, leading to higher costs and operational disruption. The estimated cost of current Boston Scientific expendable inventory is $404,451.87.

This document explains why the government intends to sole-source the procurement of the Avvigo+ Mobile Guiding System. It highlights the unique compatibility requirements with existing infrastructure and the specific vendor (Boston Scientific) and its designated distributor (Wolfpack Medical) as the only viable source. Bidders offering alternative solutions would need to address the significant costs and operational disruptions associated with replacing existing Boston Scientific equipment and inventory.
