Opportunity Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contract Office 21, issued this sources sought notice regarding a single-source procurement for urinalysis lab testing services. The requirement supports VA research project 16-20738 and involves the analysis of urine samples for quantitative levels of methamphetamines and cocaine. The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) laboratory is the identified source due to its specialized liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry methods and the ability to normalize results to creatinine concentrations while following IATA/DOT procedures.

The procurement is classified under NAICS 621511, Medical Laboratories, and PSC code Q. The anticipated contract structure includes a base year for the analysis of 147 samples followed by two option years. While the initial base year is estimated at $3,675.00, the total projected value of the award is established at a not-to-exceed limit of $25,000.00 to account for unknown quantities required during the option periods.

The VA Sierra Pacific Network (VISN 21) in McClellan, California, manages this acquisition under simplified acquisition procedures for single-source awards. Market research indicated that VA internal laboratories lack the capacity for this specific quantitative stimulant testing, and UCSF was identified as the sole facility in the San Francisco area capable of supporting the technical requirements. Point of contact for this notice is David Alvarez, and the justification was certified by Contracting Officer Tracy Worrell under solicitation number 36C26119Q0462.

Original Description

VHAPM Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K) Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C261-19-AP-1119 Purchase Request/2237: 662-19-2-733-0027 Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Sierra Pacific Network VISN 21, 5342 Dudley Blvd., Bldg. 209 McClellan, CA 95652 Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This procurement is for the analysis of urine samples to be tested for quantitative levels of methamphetamines and cocaine as part of VA research project 16-20738. The total estimated price to analyze 147 samples is $3,675.00 for the base year with 2 additional option years. Due to the unknown quantity needed in the 2 option years, the total projected value of the award will be $25,000.00 NTE. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The University of California, San Francisco s laboratory has both the technical expertise and specialized equipment required to perform a liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry method and normalized to creatinine concentration, to process urine samples collected throughout the duration of the VA s research study, following IATA/DOT procedures. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: It was confirmed through the Toxicology Laboratory manager, Kristopher Taylor, that the VA would not be capable of analyzing urine samples for quantitative stimulant levels. Several labs were contacted in the San Francisco area, and UCSF was the only laboratory found that is able to support this testing requirement. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b) and FAR 6.302-1. I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Tracy E. Worrell Digitally signed by 674419 Tracy E.
