This action is a new requirement and has determined to be urgent. This will be a firm-fixed price sole source award to a small business in accordance with. FAR 6.302-2(a)(2) When the agency’s need for the supplies or services is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals, full and open competition need not be provided for.

With the emergent effort to have readily available facilities to help combat and treat potential patient infected with the COVID-19 virus. The ZUMRO 600 series shelter will become a negative air pressure isolation station to assist in the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. In the event of a COVID 19 surge this would create an additional 8 spaces for beds to treat patients. without enough space may affect patient care and will put patients and potentially the community at higher risk. These resources are essential in ensuring the safety and well-being of the Veterans, families, staff, and community.

1 each ZUMRO Model 600 Shelter System with Air Shelter Model AirLock (Zip-On), Accessories, and

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The ZUMRO 600 series shelter will become a negative air pressure isolation station to assist in the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. The Zumro 600 series has the unique characteristics of only needing 2 people to inflate within a 6-minute turnaround time frame for this urgent and compelling need of the COVID-19 pandemic. These shelters are needed immediately to support a anticipated surge in support of the COVID-19 pandemic, care for veteran patients, and VA Staff members.

This request is in support of the Presidents declared national emergency in response to COVOD-19 FAR 18.104 Unusual and compelling urgency. Agencies may limit the number of sources and full and open competition need not be provided for contracting actions involving urgent requirements.
