This document is a Justification for Single Source Awards for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) over the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. It outlines the need for twelve (12) Philips MX40 wearable patient monitors and their connection to the existing central monitoring system.

This document explains the rationale for a single-source procurement. It details the specific Philips MX40 monitors and associated components required, emphasizing their compatibility with the VA's existing IntelliSpace Cardiovascular (ISCV) system. The justification highlights that alternative products would lead to system incompatibility, require replacement of existing equipment, additional staff training, and introduce operational and patient safety risks. The VA's current Philips monitoring system is not scheduled for replacement until 2028. Market research identified six authorized small business distributors capable of supplying the requirement, but the unique compatibility needs limit the source to Philips Healthcare for this specific procurement.
