Justification for Sole Source
The procurement was justified as a sole source action due to exclusive licensing agreements held by ZOLL Medical Corporation as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The VA determined that alternative products would be incompatible with existing equipment, void warranties, and render vital medical devices unusable. Market research, including an RFI, was conducted, but the exclusive licensing agreements ultimately limited the procurement to a single source. The contracting officer certified the justification as accurate and complete, and the price was deemed fair and reasonable.
Additional Notes
This award follows an "Intent to Sole Source" notice. The contract ensures the continued operation and support of critical defibrillator software at the VA Phoenix Healthcare System.
