    The document outlines a justification for a single-source procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs for maintenance services of specialized equipment from Medtronic, Inc. Specifically, the procurement involves preventative maintenance for the StealthStation ENT and NIM Vital equipment used at the Columbia Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The justification highlights the proprietary nature of the equipment, which necessitates OEM-certified service, limiting eligible contractors to Medtronic only. Engaging any unauthorized vendor would void warranties and impose potential costs on the facility. The document indicates that market research was likely not conducted due to the unique characteristics of the service required. This procurement process follows federal regulations regarding acquisitions that exceed the micro-purchase threshold but do not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.
