This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for a federal contract opportunity. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking to acquire Vocera Premier Licenses and Maintenance Support through the NASA SEWP V GWAC contract vehicle. The requirement is for ongoing service and support for the VA's existing Vocera hands-free wireless communication system to facilitate communications site-wide and across campuses. The contract has a 1-year base period with 4 option years, for a maximum 60-month period of performance. The VA has determined that only Vocera or its authorized resellers can provide the required proprietary software updates, maintenance, and support services. Market research indicated limited competition from SDVOSB Vocera resellers on the NASA SEWP V contract. The VA plans to synopsize the award notice and make the justification publicly available. The anticipated price is deemed fair and reasonable based on historical pricing and anticipated competition among the GWAC contract holders.
