Attachment 12 - Redacted Brand Name Justification.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the Mountain Home EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construction project at the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center. The procurement involves three specific brand-name systems: a Motorola Avigilon security camera and monitoring system, a Hirsch Velocity physical security access control system, and a SimplexGrinnell fire alarm system. The total construction project is valued between $20,000,000 and $50,000,000, with the procurement focused on standardized infrastructure upgrades that require specific brand components to ensure compatibility with existing systems.

The document confirms that market research has been conducted, and the brand-name items comply with Buy American Act requirements, with all components manufactured in the United States. The solicitation will be competed and will be posted as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside. The justification emphasizes that installing different manufacturers' systems would create significant duplication in costs and potentially compromise the integrity of the existing infrastructure at the medical center. The procurement is being processed through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC), with the ultimate goal of completing comprehensive infrastructure upgrades at the Mountain Home facility.
