This document is a Justification for Single Source Awards (IAW RFO 12.201-1) for a micro-purchase threshold acquisition. It details the requirement for one Cenorin Model 350 Medical Devices Dryer for the Manchester VA Medical Center (VAMC) Sterile Processing Services (SPS) department.

• Procurement Need: The VAMC requires a new dryer to replace an end-of-life, unsupported model. The Cenorin Model 350 is needed to ensure validated drying of reusable medical devices, supporting daily clinical operations and infection prevention standards.
• Sole Source Justification: The document asserts that the Cenorin Model 350 is the only suitable option due to unique characteristics that limit availability to one source. Using alternative equipment would necessitate significant compatibility evaluations, workflow modifications, staff retraining, and potential facility alterations, negatively impacting patient care and productivity.
• Market Research: Limited market research was conducted. A search for SD/VOSBs using the keyword "Cenorin" yielded no results. A market survey indicated that Trillamed, an SDVOSB, is the sole reseller of Cenorin products, but there is no GSA or VAFSS contract available for these products.
• Acquisition Details: The acquisition is for a micro-purchase threshold, not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The Contracting Officer has certified the justification. The document is Revision 02, with an Effective Date of 12/30/2025 and Acquisition ID# 36C241-26-AP-3261.
