    The Department of Veterans Affairs is procuring four medical-surgical supplies using simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 13.5, including three brand-name items that cater to specific medical needs as prescribed by VA physicians. This procurement involves a firm-fixed-price contract to replenish stock levels at the Leavenworth CMOP. The items, sourced specifically from manufacturers due to their unique specifications and usage, cannot be substituted, emphasizing the necessity of brand-specific supplies. The justification for restricting competition is based on the absence of alternative supplies fulfilling the agency’s requirements, backed by thorough market research confirming that no small business manufacturers exist for the requested items. Despite extensive exploration of authorized distributors, it was determined that only brand-name products from manufacturers Tandem and Medtronic will satisfy the contractual obligations. Notably, this acquisition is subject to a Buy American Act (BAA) waiver due to the products being sourced from Mexico. The documentation includes commitments from the Contracting Officer and Logistics Manager regarding the acquisition's necessity and compliance with procurement regulations, ensuring the reliability and efficacy of the supplies sourced for VA patients.
