DUNS:

Socio-economic Classification (Small Business, Woman Owned, 8a, HUBZone, Small Disadvantaged Business): NA

4. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used (justify why the project needs to be limited to the single source): Facility Standard for integrated facility wide Building management System. Programming, server support, graphical interface are all key elements to this integrated system. Programming languages and topography are proprietary.

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

The entire facility is under one common and fully integrated Building Management System. Should an alternate provider be allowed, then the full system integration for the facility will be compromised. Key system elements that need to be in place to clean clear integrated controls are as follows:

VA provided web server; VA integration through VA OIT systems for facility wide communications; seamless integration through a single point of control with simplified graphical interface to link all systems and systems components. This is required to be stepped through both existing systems and system elements not being modified under this contract and full integration of new control elements components and sub-systems.

Programming languages need to match Programming topography needs to match Program sequence of control need to be identical All system elements are required to be fully operational through a single platform

6. Contracting Officer's Certification: Single source request is approved. I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
