The award will be executed under authority at FAR 6.302-1.

The rationale for the sole source acquisition is that Skytron, LLC is the only known vendor capable of working on the equipment included in this project due to their specific knowledge, and they are the only firm able to maintain the warranty of Skytron equipment involved. This project includes the Structural Preparation and Associated Infrastructure OR Boom Installation at the Atlanta VAMC. It includes review, and reengineering of structural supports, as well as the installation of data cabling to support the installation of multiple surgical booms procured by the surgical service in Operatories 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. The period of performance for this requirement will be 120 days after notice to proceed is issued. The surgical booms being installed are replacing existing installations in addition to integration of data requirements. This acquisition’s expected magnitude is between $25,000 and $100,000, and it is anticipated to take place on or about 9/1/2024.

In addition to knowledge of the market/industry known to the contracting and requiring activities, the intent to use a sole source acquisition in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 is sufficient. This notice satisfies requirements identified in FAR Part 5. The intended procurement is not set-aside, will be classified under Product Service Code (PSC) Y1DA, and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 236220 with a small business size of $45 million.
