INTRODUCTION:

This announcement is an Intent to Sole Source in accordance with FAR 6.103-5 “Authorized or required by statute.” It is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Program Contracting Activity (PCAC) intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with AVCOR Construction LLC, a Service- Disabled Veteran- Owned Business (SDVOSB), for project #598-26-706 EHRM Joint Security Architecture (JSA) / Forward Deployed Services (FDS).

PROJECT BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTION:

The VA requires upgrades to support Joint Security Architecture (JSA) IT equipment and the Forward Deployed Services (FDS). JSA and FDS equipment provided by Oracle Cerner and located within the VA main computer rooms at both the VA Little Rock and VA North Little Rock campuses will ensure compliance with OEHRM and OIT standards and maintain system integrity. Each IT equipment set will require a specific configuration of electrical power to be delivered to its IT cabinets, compliant with OEHRM Site Infrastructure and End User Requirements (SIEUDR) and with OIT Infrastructure Standards for Telecommunication Spaces (ISTS). The VA’s current Little Rock Server room/MCR is in LR Building 1, Rm 1E-158, and the cores are in LR Building 1, Room GC-159. The A-side UPS is in LR Building 1, Rm 1E-158. Electrical power is available in adjacent Building 1, Rm 1E-161 to pull electrical power for the B side UPS that will be installed in LR Building 1, Room 1E-158. The VA’s current North Little Rock server room/MCR is located in NLR Building 102, Room 220, and the cores are located in NLR Building 58, Room 33 approximately 300 feet to the west of NLR Building 102. Existing conduit and manholes will be used to pull new fiber from NLR Building 58, room 33 to NLR Building 102, Room 220.
