    S02_JA_Q0085_CS_CO.pdf
    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has issued a Single Source Justification to procure LifeScan brand ONE TOUCH ULTRA glucose test strips in 100CT and 50CT quantities, valued under $250,000. This justification is based on the unique characteristics of the product, which has been specifically prescribed by VA physicians, thereby requiring adherence to the brand name for patient safety. Market research determined that alternative suppliers are unavailable through standard procurement channels, necessitating an open market approach. The Contracting Office confirmed through various searches that no service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SDVOSB) or small businesses can supply this item directly from manufacturers. However, at least two authorized distributors capable of fulfilling the requirement at a reasonable price are expected to respond to the competitive solicitation to be posted on SAM.gov. The justification complies with the relevant procurement regulations, ensuring accuracy in procurement procedures. Ultimately, the document underscores the VA's efforts to ensure that patients receive the correct medical supplies while navigating regulatory requirements and market limitations.
