DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For

Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C242-18-AP-2613

1. Contracting Activity and Agency:

Department of Veterans Affairs Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 2 VA Western New York Healthcare System 76 Veterans Avenue 3495 Bailey Avenue Bath, NY 14810 Buffalo, NY 14215

VISN 2

2237: 528-18-4-4085-0174

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use:

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 and the VA Western New York Healthcare System anticipate the procurement of a Hobart manufactured Waste Pro Waste Equipment System for use in the Nutrition & Food Service department.

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

The equipment listed in the Statement of Work (SOW) and the Request for Quote (RFQ) is a direct replacement of equipment currently being used but is not operational and has reached its end-of-life. The waste equipment system required fits the blueprint for space, ceiling, drain, and electrical configurations as it is the same version of the one being replaced. Any other equipment will require unnecessary, unfunded, and very detailed plumbing and electrical reconfiguration to accommodate another brand name or model

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

A comprehensive search of Veterans Information Pages (VIP), SBA Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) and the Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation (FPDS-NG) indicates that there are likely two or more Veteran Owned Small Businesses and/or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses that can provide the requirements of the procurement request. Therefore, the “rule of two” applies and this solicitation will be set aside to VOSB/SDVOSB vendors only.
