    BNJ - SIMULATOR TASK TRAINERS.doc
    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking an exception to the fair opportunity requirement to procure specialized training devices and replacement inserts for the Cincinnati VA Medical Center (CVAMC). The request is for brand name equipment essential for staff skill development in clinical procedures like lumbar punctures and blood pressure checks, with a total estimated cost of $19,313. The statutory basis for this request falls under Section 41 U.S.C. 4106(c) and FAR regulations, specifically citing the uniqueness of the required training models by Elevate Healthcare, which ensure compatibility and quality. Market research demonstrated limited competition, with no alternative products available that fulfill the specific requirements needed for effective simulation training. The rationale emphasizes the need for brand-specific models tailored to current VA training protocols, underscoring the critical impact of simulation on patient safety. Efforts to increase competition in future acquisitions will continue, while acknowledging that currently, the VA Rule of Two for small businesses is not met, though the SBA Rule of Two is satisfied. Overall, the document outlines a structured approach to acquire specialized essential training equipment while adhering to legal and regulatory frameworks.
