    P03 - Attachment 1 Single Source Justification MPT to SAT.pdf
    The document outlines a justification for a single source procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for a specialized device needed to measure radiation plans in brain treatment, specifically the SRS Map Check from Sun Nuclear, amounting to $93,270. The justification explains that Sun Nuclear is the only suitable supplier due to its established quality assurance equipment already in use within the VA's Radiation Oncology department. Integration with existing equipment prevents additional costs that would arise if a different manufacturer's system were purchased, as it would require replacement of specialized components and potential remodeling costs. The urgency of the acquisition is emphasized, as there was no market research conducted due to the emergency nature of the purchase. The Contracting Officer certifies that the justification meets FAR guidelines. This procurement highlights the VA’s commitment to ensuring patient safety and operational efficiency in radiation treatment through appropriate equipment acquisition.
