AI Contract Overview

The contract pertains to the upgrade of proprietary Surgical Communication and Tray Tracking Software developed exclusively by Stickler Holdings LLC, utilized within the Sterile Processing Services (SPS) of the Department of Veterans Affairs. This software is critical for tracking sterile instrument sets throughout the medical center and includes functionality to automatically notify vendors when specialized sets needed are not owned by the Government. The acquisition is justified as a sole source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b), since only the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) can provide the necessary software update. The OEM does not utilize distributors, and no other vendor’s software is compatible with the existing system. Market research efforts included a verification search to confirm that the OEM is registered in the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) system and an intent to sole source was publicly posted on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) platform. Direct contact with the vendor by phone and email confirmed that no alternative suppliers exist. The procurement action, falling above the micro-purchase threshold but below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) of $250,000, took place within Contracting Activity 10 at the Department of Veterans Affairs, with the office based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Contracting Officer certified the purchase’s compliance with applicable federal acquisition regulations, ensuring the justification is both complete and accurate.
