    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is procuring specific medical/surgical supplies under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR 13.5). The items include the Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant (3M#5050) and Omnipod 5 G6 Reservoir (MPN: 08508-3000-21) through a sole-source justification, which permits limited competition due to the unique qualifications of the required products. These items are integral to patient care, having been prescribed by VA physicians, and substitutions are not allowed due to their specific medical necessity. The procurement action will result in a firm-fixed-price contract with planned monthly deliveries. Market research indicates that there are no equivalent alternatives available, and both products are made in the USA, negating the need for a Buy American Act (BAA) waiver. The Contracting Officer assures that the anticipated costs are fair and reasonable based on historical pricing and competitive practices. No new small business manufacturers were identified that could comply with procurement requirements, reinforcing the decision for sole-source acquisition. The procurement aims to meet critical medical needs for veterans efficiently and effectively while ensuring compliance with federal regulations.
