Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a "Request for Sole Source Justification" template used by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for procurements under Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items, specifically RFO 12.102(b).

• Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C244-26-AP-1162
• Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, NCO 4, H.J. Heinz III VA Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA.
• Description of Supplies/Services: Requirement for thirteen (13) each of Stryker System 9 Sagittal and Reciprocating Saw, along with components, for Surgical Services at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS).
• Justification for Sole Source: The VA Pittsburgh VAMC currently uses the Stryker System 9 and is engaged in an ongoing effort to replace legacy systems. Procuring a different brand is deemed uneconomical and operationally disruptive due to the need for full compatibility, minimizing training burden, and ensuring continuity of operations. Standardizing on the Stryker platform is considered the most economical and operationally sound path forward.
• Market Research: Efforts included contacting the OEM (Stryker) for a list of authorized distributors and identifying two Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) as potential sources. The Non-Manufacturer Rule directs contracting teams to issue the solicitation as unrestricted.
• Anticipated Cost: Determined to be Fair and Reasonable based on price analysis, historical purchases, and technical evaluation.

This document explains the VA's rationale for a sole-source procurement of Stryker System 9 surgical saws. It highlights the specific equipment needed, the justification for brand-name only, and the market research conducted.
