The ECG monitor with defibrillator capabilities will assist ambulatory staff in performing same-day medical procedures.

The ambulatory service equipment included in this requisition is required to meet the standards. Transaction total: $69,753.85 3.Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Emergency response at the New Mexico VA Healthcare System is part of a standard service of care that is required at all VA facilities with regards to sudden cardiac arrest. The equipment and accessories in this request will be used to up-hold the standard of ambulatory care in the attempt of saving lives. VAAR806.302-570(b) states a contracting officer may award a contract under the authority in this paragraph (b) to a VIP verified SDVOSB first, then VOSB if no SDVOSB vendors can fulfill the need, for an amount less than the simplified acquisition threshold, using procedures other than full and open competition. (38 U.S.C 8127). The items in this request will be procured by an SDVOSB vendor who is an authorized distributor, as per the manufacturer, by Stryker Sales. 4.Description of market research conducted and results or statement of why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted searching the SAC database but there was no evidence of mandatory contracts listed for the items in this requisition. A search of GSA did not render any items listed in this requisition. A search of SCMC database revealed that the manufacturer, Stryker Sales, is an FSS contract holder but only eleven items out of the fifteen requested are listed under the contract. A letter of authorization was received and confirmed that The Janz Corporation is an authorized distributor of Stryker products. A search of DSBS lists the vendor as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business.
