Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The VA Arizona Healthcare System is requesting the Universal Broken& Stripped Screw Removal System to expand and replace the Shukla Orthopedic tray items that are used during surgery. The set includes drivers and drill bits that attach to each other for the purpose of removing any type of broken or damaged screws that have become embedded in the tissues or bones of the Veteran patients. The existing surgical sets have become obsolete and need to be upgraded because there are no existing part additions. These items will be integrated with the existing Trauma All-In- One System as well and assist in the prevention of further orthopedic complications. This request will be procured for the Sterile Processing Service department which is a critical department within the VA Phoenix Hospital. Estimated amount: $44,000.00. 3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The orthopedic surgical department currently uses the Trauma All-In-One System and the request for the Universal Broken Screw System will be used in conjunction with the existing system. The existing equipment includes the Shukla Maxi Universal Screw System and the Shukla Maxi Universal Screw System. Shukla Medical is the only vendor capable of providing the surgical instrument sets for this acquisition request. Shukla Medical (D.B.A S. S White Technologies) is the sole proprietor and distributor for the Shukla Orthopedic Revision Instrumentation. The manufacturer only sells the items directly to hospital and medical facilities. No other brand of extraction sets can be used with the existing Trauma All-In-One System. Letter of authorization from Shukla Medical (DBA SS white Technologies Inc) has been provided and filed. 4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted utilizing DSBS, SAM, GSA, FPDS and internet websites.

Additional market research was also conducted and revealed that Shukla Medical, a small business; is registered in SAM and does not appear on the Excluded Parties list (EPLS). **5.
