    The Department of Veterans Affairs is initiating a sole-source procurement for Impella CP Catheters, via a Firm-Fixed-Price Contract with Geo-Med, LLC. This urgent acquisition arises from the Portland VA Medical Center's inadequate supply of functional units, having only one operational catheter after one unit malfunctioned. The equipment is critical for providing left ventricular pressure support during cardiac procedures, directly impacting patient care. The original equipment manufacturer has authorized Geo-Med, LLC as the distributor for these catheters. The anticipated award date for the contract is November 12, 2024. This notice fulfills the requirement to publicize the contract action under FAR regulations, and no competitive proposals will be solicited. Responses to this notice may be considered for future procurement evaluations, but there will be no compensation for submitted information. This procurement highlights the commitment to maintaining high standards in patient care through reliable medical equipment availability.
    P03 Single Source Justification MPT to SAT_Redacted.pdf
    The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks justification for a single-source award for the urgent acquisition of Impella CP catheters, vital during high-risk cardiac procedures for patients with unstable hemodynamic systems. The Portland VA Medical Center currently has only one functional unit, which poses significant safety risks should it fail during a procedure. This procurement, exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding $250,000, is necessitated by the proprietary nature of the Impella CP catheter, manufactured solely by Abiomed, making it the only compatible option with existing VA-controlled units. Due to the emergent circumstances, limited market research was conducted to expedite the acquisition and ensure patient care continuity. The urgency justifies bypassing competitive bidding processes in compliance with FAR regulations. The contracting officer confirms the accuracy of the justification in support of this critical acquisition for the health and safety of veterans.
