Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This procurement is for the Ralph H. Johnson VAMC Likorall Overhead Patient Lifts and motors replacement for patient care areas: Dialysis Bays, GI/GU Clinic Bays, Radiology, Emergency Department, and Ambulatory Care Center. The requirement is specifically for the name-brand mechanical and electrical system Likorall Overhead Lift and motor. The estimated value of the proposed action is $226,585.54 Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Due to existing equipment and safety guidelines, it is necessary for 100% compatibility, functionality, and installation of Likorall Overhead Lift and motor that support all RHJVAMC s safe patient handling and mobility system. This will minimize the requirement for training, maintenance, and uniformity within the medical center. If other equipment was to be used, this would potentially cause undue harm to VA patients and employees. Only the Likorall product line will meet the requirements. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted to determine if there were any authorized distributors for the Likorall brand name. The manufacturer of the Likorall brand informed us that there are multiple authorized distributors available for this line of products. The OEM further stated that their preferred vendor is currently Janz Corporation. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b).
