About this file
This is a Justification for Single Source Award under FAR 6.302-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency) submitted by the Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 07, Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina.
The procurement concerns the lease or provision of a temporary mobile oxygen trailer to supply the medical facility with oxygen during a four-month period while the facility's main oxygen supply system is offline due to an ongoing project. The estimated contract value is $172,071. The justification cites emergency circumstances requiring immediate action; if the requirement is not fulfilled, the hospital will be unable to complete the current project or will be forced to divert all patients during the three-to-four-month system downtime. The contracting office acknowledges that other companies possess the capability to fulfill the requirements but contends that the selected vendor is immediately available to mobilize on short notice, which is critical given the emergent timeline. No formal market research was conducted due to the urgent nature of the requirement. The Contracting Officer has certified that the justification is accurate and complete and that the purchase is approved in accordance with FAR 6.302-2, permitting a single-source award without competitive solicitation.

Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)
Acquisition Plan Action ID:
1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 07, 534 Ralph H. Johnson VAMC, 109 Bee Street Charleston, SC 29401
2237:
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This requirement is to be considered an emergency because normal contracting lead times are not feasible. A current project is now requiring the main facility oxygen supply to be turned off. The temporary oxygen trailer will be needed to supply the facility with oxygen while the existing project is being completed. Anticipated time for the mobile oxygen trailer is four (4) months. If this emergency requirement is not approved, it will impact the existing project being completed, or the facility will be without oxygen during the three-to-four-month downtime putting the hospital on full diversion.
The estimated value for this procurement will be $172,071.
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Due to the highly complex nature of the requirements, we strongly encourage the deployment of a firm with a proven track record of performance, and subject matter expertise to install a temporary oxygen trailer. This is due to the emergent need to replace existing main facility oxygen supply is off.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
This requirement is an urgent matter; although other companies would be able to fulfill the requirements, the chosen company is available to provide at short notice.
Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR 6.302-2. I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
