About this file
This document is an award notice for a federal contract to provide a Bobcat UW56 piece of equipment to the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 Madison VA Medical Center. The contract was awarded to Bravo, Inc. for $69,350 on August 25, 2023. The Bobcat UW56 will be used for snow removal, transporting grounds equipment, hauling away lawn clippings and leaves, transporting landscaping materials and heavy equipment throughout the campus, and moving emergency management road signs. The justification for awarding the contract on a single source basis to Bravo, Inc. was that the site already has interchangeable attachments that are Bobcat-specific and the six engineering staff are already trained on operating the UW56 model, so transitioning to a different brand would require purchasing new attachments and extensive retraining. Market research found that two service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses could provide the equipment at a fair and reasonable price.

DESCRIPTION
VHAPG Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP under the SAT
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT (“[REDACTED]”)
Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C252-23-AP-2268
1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 12, Madison VA Medical Center.
2237 # 607-23-3-6969-0038
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
Bobcat UW56 – Uses: snow removal, transporting grounds equipment, haul away/dump lawn clippings, leaves, trimmed plants/bushes, transport landscaping materials such as soil, transporting heavy equipment from buildings throughout the campus, and moving of emergency management road signs.
Estimated cost: “[REDACTED]”
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
The site has several interchangeable attachments for the Bobcat type of equipment which include: a heavy materials bucket, light materials bucket, rotary brush, snow blower, wood/branch chipper, 8’ snow pusher, 10’ snow pusher and pallet forks. The attachments will not work on another piece of equipment as they are interchangeable with Bobcat equipment only. Currently 6 engineering staff at the site are already trained on the UW56 piece of equipment. Training on a new piece of equipment could take a few hours per person. However, being an efficient, effective, and safe operator of the machine could take months of using to gain familiarity; and eventually master the machine per user.
The costs & time associated with purchasing all new attachments and re-training engineering staff, if using a different brand, factored into using the Bobcat brand only.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
Market research showed that the VA rule of two is met. Two SDVOSBs are capable of providing the Bobcat UW56 equipment & are likely to submit a quote at a fair and reasonable price that offers best value to the government in accordance with FAR 13.106-1.
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.
