Notice of Intent to purchase sole source powered wheelchair

The Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System intends to issue a sole source purchase of a powered wheelchair. See the attached Notice of Intent to Sole Source. The prescribed item will be purchased from the vendor identified because they are able to meet the Veteran's immediate need. The item was prescribed by the Veteran's attending Physician who has the authority to prescribe the method of treatment to best satisfy the medical condition of his/her patient.

The physician has determined this item as the best device to treat the patient's medical condition and functional limitations. Substituting a device other than that specifically prescribed would be detrimental to the treatment of the Veteran patient.
