About this file
This single source justification document outlines a proposed sole source award for an electronic key management system. The Cincinnati VA Medical Center requires replacement of its aging Morse Watchmans key cabinet systems at its main and Fort Thomas, Kentucky campuses. As the original equipment manufacturer, Morse Watchmans holds proprietary licensing for the VA-approved True Touch software that centrally manages and tracks key usage, and no other supplier's products can meet this requirement. Market research found no other potential sources through relevant NAICS code queries in VetCert, DSBS, GSA Advantage, or other databases. The contracting officer certified the justification as accurate and complete in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) for this proposed sole source award not exceeding $250,000 to the OEM.
