Approved VAAR_819.7008 Center Mall Survey.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source award to a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) under the Department of Veterans Affairs contracting authority.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23 (NCO23) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, seeks to procure Appraisal, Survey and Title Search Services for the Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System for a potential acquisition of the Center Mall property. The acquisition is justified as an urgency to allow the Department to acquire the property before private development can occur, as the facility currently has limited space for parking and campus expansion. The procurement is authorized under 41 USC §3304(a)(5) and 38 U.S. Code § 8127(c), permitting non-competitive sole source procedures under VAAR 819.7008 (SDVOSB) or VAAR 819.7009 (VOSB) up to $5,000,000. Market research identified four National BPAs with SDVOSB companies for these services: Interior Systems, Inc. (Contract 36C10F23A0009), Concourse Federal Group LLC (36C10F23A0007), The Craddock Group LLC (36C10F23A0008), and Riley Mcguire Partners LLC (36C10F23A0005); however, these contracts can only be used by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CFM). The anticipated cost will be validated against the Independent Government Cost Estimate and comparable contracts in the Federal Procurement Data System. The Acquisition Plan Action ID is 36C263-26-AP-4323, with approvals signed by Chief Engineer Rob Venner and Contracting Officer John Milroy on September 24, 2026.
