This is a Justification and Approval Notice for an out-of-scope modification to an existing Department of Veterans Affairs contract. The modification (P00008) to contract 36C77623C0089 was awarded to Povolny Group, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), in the amount of $200,681.00 on September 29, 2026. The contracting office is located in Independence, Ohio (zip code 44131), under the Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) within Veterans Health Administration (VHA).

The requirement involves extending the VA.gov network infrastructure from the Captain James A. Lovell FHCC West Campus to the on-site Fisher House facility in North Chicago. The work includes directional boring and fiber-optic installation to eliminate a recurring $500 monthly GSU circuit network fee, improve network performance with scalable connectivity up to 10 Gbps or greater, and extend the existing guest wireless network from the National Campus Hub (NCH) to the Fisher House. The modification was justified under FAR 6.302-5 (authorized or required by statute) and VAAR 819.7004, 819.7005, and 819.7008, allowing for sole-source award to the existing SDVOSB contractor. The product service code is Y1DA (Construction), and the NAICS code is 236220. Kaylan Grove serves as the point of contact at 216-447-8300 extension 3530.
