    The Department of Veterans Affairs is procuring seven medical surgical products under a simplified acquisition process in accordance with FAR 13.5, with a total contract value anticipated to be under $7.5 million. This procurement is specifically justified as a brand name-only requirement, necessitating sole source acquisition to meet physician prescriptions without substitution. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed-price agreement for two years, with an option for three additional six-month terms. The procurement requires monthly and bi-monthly deliveries at two CMOP locations. Market research indicated that competitive sourcing was plausible, as past procurements attracted multiple compliant quotes. However, since the identified products are manufactured by Atos Medical in Sweden, small business alternatives are unavailable, leading to a recommendation for unrestricted solicitation. Approvals across various levels of the contracting office have been secured, confirming adherence to regulations and ensuring that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable. The justification document emphasizes the critical nature of these items for patient care while detailing the comprehensive process followed in verifying market availability and compliance with federal guidelines.
