Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C261 24 AP 2909

JOFOC TRACKER: FY24 – NCO21 – 1880

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 21, 3237 Peacekeeper Way, Bldg. 200, Suite 204, McClellan Park, CA 95652 on behalf of the VA Northern California Healthcare System (NorCal), 10535 Hospital Way, Mather, CA 95655 4200.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This requirement is for comprehensive boiler plant maintenance at the Stockton VA Medical Clinic, including inspections, testing and boiler management systems control maintenance. NorCal is short staffed and does not have enough engineers station wide to adequately handle the routine maintenance and inspections for every site.

This action, which will be awarded as a new, firm, fixed price contract to a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), EWA Direction, for a base period of one year with one option year.

The proposed vendor is EWA Direction which has successfully performed boiler inspection and maintenance services throughout facilities within NCO 21. This short term contract will hopefully allow NorCal to hire a permanent full time employee engineer.

The contract will be awarded on a sole source basis to a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) in accordance with FAR 6.302 5 Authorized or Required by Statute and VAAR

819.7007 Sole Source Awards to a Verified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business.

This is a new requirement and not a repeat award to an SDVOSB.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The proposed vendor is EWA Direction which has successfully performed boiler inspection and maintenance services throughout facilities within NCO 21.

Overall contract value is $184,500.00.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: 41 USC §3304(a)(5), 38 U.S. Code § 8127(c), as implemented by FAR 6.302 5 (Authorized or Required by Statute). COs may use the non competitive (sole source) procedures authorized in VAAR 819.7008 (DEVIATION) or VAAR 819.7009 (DEVIATION) up to $5,000,000. Check the specific VAAR clause used below:

EWA Direction maintains an active registration in SAM.gov, is not on the Excluded Parties List, has an active SBA VetCert certification, and is interested in providing these services.

The authority at 819.7007 allows sole source awards to SDVOSBs based on 38 U.S.C. 8127(c) and the SDVOSB concern has been determined to be a responsible source with respect to performance.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification:Market research conducted was to verify the vendor’s registration status in the Small Business Administration’s VetCert and SAM.gov databases to verify its SDVOSB status and to make certain it was not on the Excluded Parties List. In addition, the GSA e Library was searched for the vendor’s correct GSA Schedule contract and contract pricing. The vendor met the eligibility criteria outlined in VAAR 819.7003 and the action is below the $5M threshold.
