    Redacted Justification.pdf
    The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks to procure Abiomed Impella Pumps and Accessories under a Sole Source Justification, utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures per FAR 13.5. This five-year, firm fixed price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract aims to fulfill a bona fide need for heart pump kits necessary for patient procedures at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. The contract, estimated to exceed $7.5 million, is justified due to the unique qualifications of the Impella device, which is the only FDA-approved non-surgical heart pump for specific medical uses. Geo-Med, LLC is identified as the sole distributor, as Abiomed no longer sells directly to the government. Market research and a Sources Sought notice revealed no other suitable alternatives or authorized distributors, confirming the necessity of restricting competition. The procurement process will ensure fair pricing through historical data comparisons. Future efforts will aim to identify additional suppliers to enhance competition for subsequent acquisitions. This project underscores the VA’s commitment to meeting critical healthcare needs while adhering to federal procurement regulations.
