Sole Source Justification

This document justifies a sole source purchase for the Omnicell XT Anesthesia Workstation for the James J. Peters VA Medical Center (Bronx). The procurement is necessary to replace end-of-life Omnicell Anesthesia G5 units that can no longer provide effective oversight in high-diversion areas.

• 9 XT Anesthesia Workstations

• Ancillary equipment

• Operating software

• 12 months of training

• 12 months of installation and support services (Advantage Plan)

• All deliverables required within 60 days after award.

• The estimated value of the proposed action is redacted.

• The procurement is being conducted under RFO FAR 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services) using simplified procedures.

• This is a sole source justification, not a solicitation for proposals.

• The government contacted one authorized distributor, TrillaMed (SDVOSB), for a quote.

• The government also obtained a quote from the OEM, Omnicell.

• The revised quote from TrillaMed is considered the best value to the government.

• The justification notes that TrillaMed is a SDVOSB firm.

• Market research identified two SD/VOSBs: ReliableMed Supply, LLC. and Victor Medical Supply, LLC.

• The agency intends to remove barriers to competition in future procurements by contacting the OEM to determine if additional authorized distributors exist.

• The existing Omnicenter server infrastructure is compatible with the XT workstations.

• An ongoing service contract with Omnicell is in place.

• Alternative solutions are deemed incompatible and would lead to operational disruptions and increased costs.
