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: 36C248-25-AP-2095

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health

Administration, Regional Procurement Office East, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 08 in support of Bay Pines VA Healthcare System at 10000 Bay Pines Blvd., Bay Pines, FL 33744.

2237 Number:

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The supplies required are one Hobart FD4-500 garbage disposal, one Hobart AM16SCB dishwasher, and installation. These products will be used by the Building 1 Canteen Kitchen.

The total estimated procurement value is

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: This is a Brand Name Only Justification. The Hobart FD4-500 garbage disposal and Hobart AM16SCB dishwasher is being requested by Facilities Management Service. The Bay Pines VA currently has a maintenance contract (36C24823P0764) with Hobart to service, and maintain garbage disposals and dishwashers. By procuring the Hobart brand units we are ensuring that our existing contract with Hobart will be able to maintain these units. Any other brand name would cause delays to the construction of the kitchen, while adding costs to the government with another maintenance contract, when one already exists.

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

A Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) search utilizing NAICS code 333310 yielded 75 Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)/ Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) matches. A Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) search matching 75 results and Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) matching 42 results were found using NAICS 333310.

Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT

Revision: 01 Effective Date: 11/15/2024 Page 2 of 2 Acquisition ID# 36C248-25-AP-2095

Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) and the National Acquisition Center MedSurg Catalog were queried utilizing the keywords “Hobart Garbage Disposal and Hobart Electric Dishwasher” and no current results returned.

General Services Administration (GSA) Advantage was queried utilizing “Hobart Garbage Disposal”, and “Hobart Electric Dishwasher” and several results were returned. What appears to be relevant results came from two Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), three Small Businesses, and three Large Businesses.

Using FAR Part 8 procedures, quotes were requested from three GSA vendors and a question was received regarding the need for installation. Installation was confirmed to be necessary during the solicitation process by the end user, changing the scope of the requirement. Two responses were received, one of which was open market and one that did not include installation. There is no reason to believe that this would be able to be fulfilled with a existing government contract. This will need to be competed in the open market.

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.
