Opportunity Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contract Office 21, issued this sources sought notice for the quantitative analysis of urine samples to detect methamphetamines and cocaine levels. This laboratory testing supports VA research project 16-20738 and requires the use of liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry methods normalized to creatinine concentration. The primary place of performance involves processing samples collected during the research study following IATA and DOT procedures.

This procurement is conducted under simplified acquisition procedures for a single source award to the University of California, San Francisco. Market research indicated that the VA is unable to perform quantitative stimulant testing internally and identified UCSF as the only local laboratory capable of supporting these specific technical requirements. The anticipated contract includes a base year for the analysis of 147 samples at an estimated cost of $3,675.00, followed by two additional option years. The total projected value of the award is established at a not-to-exceed limit of $25,000.00.

The opportunity is identified under solicitation number 36C26119Q0462 and is classified under NAICS 621511 for Medical Laboratories and PSC code Q. The contracting activity is located at the VA Sierra Pacific Network VISN 21 in McClellan, California. Administrative oversight is provided by Contracting Officer Tracy Worrell and point of contact David Alvarez. As of the publication date of April 9, 2019, there are no attachments associated with this notice.

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.
