About this file

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) Notice for a sole-source award to Valley Mechanical Inc. for upgrading the Sterile Processing System (SPS) Critical Water System at the Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center in Iron Mountain, MI. The award was made under FAR 6.302-2 for unusual and compelling urgency due to high bacterial levels detected in May 2024 that posed safety risks to patients and staff.

The contract (36C25225P0224) was awarded on January 21, 2025, for $193,919.20 on a firm-fixed-price basis. The scope includes installing a new reverse-osmosis system, critical water storage tank, distribution pump, new distribution piping, air coil for temperature control, replacement of three water softeners, and installation of a new blended hot water line. The contract has a 60-day period of performance. Initially considered as an SDVOSB set-aside, the procurement was changed to a small business sole-source after receiving an inflated proposal from IMS Inc. ($279,395 versus IGE of $113,080). The contracting officer determined Valley Mechanical Inc., a regular facility subcontractor, would provide better value to the government under the urgent circumstances.
