    P03 Brand Name Justification_Reprocessing Sinks.pdf
    The document serves as a justification for a single-source acquisition by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the purchase of ergonomic reprocessing sinks. Specifically, the Lebanon VA Medical Center requires two PureSteel reprocessing sinks—one 2-bay and one 3-bay—estimated at $95,982.02. The acquisition follows recommendations from VISN SPS Auditors to upgrade existing sinks due to safety concerns: improper ergonomics and lack of built-in electrical outlets. Pure Processing is identified as the sole supplier due to unique ergonomic features, advanced technology, and safety enhancements absent in other products. Market research indicated multiple potential vendors; however, the specific technical capabilities offered by Pure Processing justify limiting the purchase to this single source. The contracting officer, William MacDougall, certifies the accuracy of this justification per federal acquisition regulations. This document is crucial in demonstrating compliance with the simplified acquisition procedures within the defined monetary threshold, addressing both operational needs and safety standards for VA staff.
