DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

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: 663-20-1-823-0004

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 20, Puget Sound Health Care System (VAPSHCS), Environmental Management PR# 663-20-1-823-0004

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

This is an urgent order for hospital linens/textiles for direct Veteran care. Supplies to be purchased are hospital linens to include gowns, robes, sheets, blankets, bath blanket, wash cloths and mop.

Estimated amount is $130,942.66

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

This is an emergency request as the hospital is critically low on linens for patients. VAPSHCS has an immediate need for hospital linens and textiles. If VAPSCHS does not have patient linens/textiles then healthcare for Veterans will stop. IAW FAR 6.302-2 this purchase will be Urgent and Compelling.

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

Market research was conducted using the Federal Supply Schedule and GS07F0103L and returned no results. A Search of the National Acquisition Center using the company and the product number returned no results. A search of the Vendor Information page using NAICS Code 314999 resulted in 67 vendors, but IAW FAR 6.302-2 this purchase is will fall under urgent and compelling. Previous purchase is 36C26019F0522.

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.
