DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For

Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($150K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: VA242-17-AP-5110

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 02, Northport VA Medical Center

(VAMC) located at 79 Middleville Road, Northport, NY 11768-2200. Engineering Service of the Northport VAMC has submitted Purchase Request Number 632-18-3-6044-0387. This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The Northport VAMC is requesting a new follow-on acquisition of repair services of the Air Handler Unit identified in the Statement of Work, for the Engineering Service, for a period of 30 days.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The bearings, isolation mounts, and blower shaft could only be provided and installed by the same source that installed the motor for AHU3. This work is a logical follow-on to previous work completed on February 26, 2018 (36C24218P1474 – PO 632C80152). This work was intended to be completed on that contract action by March 23, 2018, but due to the impact on the Operating Room limiting availability of getting this work completed before contract expiration, this work was not completed in time.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: A search in VIP, restricted with NAICS code “238220”, Keyword “Air Handler Unit” and New York state only, yielded 30 results. However, a local SDVOSB, also verified in VIP, is the incumbent contractor that was set to complete this work but was unable to do so before the contract expired on 3/23/2018, through no fault of the Contractor. This requirement is not supported by mandatory sources in AbilityOne or is applicable to any other mandatory source requirements, such as utilities.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
