This document is a Brand Name Justification for a procurement action by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Regional Procurement Office-East (RPO-E), Network Contracting Office 4 (NCO 4). It justifies restricting competition for a new requirement for preventive maintenance and repair of patient ceiling lifts to a brand name requirement with Arjo.

• The justification is for a procurement valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) ($250K).
• It details that Arjo ceiling lifts require maintenance, inspection, and repairs that can only be performed by OEM trained and certified personnel using OEM-provided parts.
• Arjo Inc. is stated as the sole provider of authorized technician training and repair parts.
• The document notes that other vendors are not permitted to perform maintenance and repairs without express written permission from the OEM.
• Market research identified two vendors capable of meeting the requirements, including the OEM (Arjo Inc.) and an SDVOSB capable of serving and maintaining all patient lifts at the Wilmington site.
