This federal government document is a Brand Name Justification for a Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) procurement, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 16. The Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (MEDVAMC) in Houston, Texas, seeks to acquire a Stryker Communications Cardio-Pulmonary Imaging Suite for installation in its Cone Beam Bronchoscopy room. This firm-fixed-price supply contract is vital for ensuring uninterrupted patient care and mission-critical activities. Pursuant to FAR 12.102(b) and 41 U.S.C. 1901, competition is restricted to authorized distributors of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Stryker Communications. Market research conducted via VetCert and the Small Business Administration (SBA) identified eighteen potential Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) under NAICS code 339112. However, Stryker Communications verified that only two SDVOSBs—TrillaMed and Beacon Point Associates—are authorized resellers for this requirement. Consequently, competition will be limited to these two active SDVOSB vendors. The Contracting Officer will perform a price analysis on received proposals to ensure the final cost to the government is fair and reasonable. Future acquisitions will undergo updated market research to identify any changes in market conditions that could increase competition.
