About this file

This document is a brand name justification for a federal construction project to replace fan coil units at a Veterans Affairs medical center. The project will be a 100% set-aside for verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and will be solicited on SAM.gov. The justification provides market research showing multiple SDVOSBs in the area with the capability to perform the construction work. The brand name designation is needed for components that must be compatible with existing building systems. Offerors will be responsible for obtaining pricing from suppliers as part of their project proposals. The contracting officer and project manager approved moving forward with this procurement approach and set-aside designation for the fan coil unit replacement work at the Fayetteville VA Medical Center.

Multiple (SDVOSB) companies are listed in VIP VetBiz and SAM, as general construction companies capable of meeting the requirements as listed in design drawings and specifications. Market research demonstrates that there are multiple SDVOSB’s registered in VIP VetBiz in NCO 16 area of operation. There are also three (3) SDVOSB’s on the VetBiz that are potential and historical offerors for this project at the Fayetteville VA Medical Center (who possess the capability to perform this size and magnitude of construction project) whom we believe will be very interested in proposing on this project. Therefore, from Market Research findings and the VA Rule of Two, it has been determined that this requirement shall be solicited as a 100% SDVOSB set aside on beta.SAM.gov.

Competing firms will deliver fair market prices for systems and items listed as all systems are common and use standard off the shelf components. The Contracting Officer and COR were in concurrence with information provided. Approval of the items as brand name only is critical for the overall efficiency of the completed project and the Fayetteville VA Medical Center.

9. Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other than Full and Open Competition:

New components must be able to tie into the existing system.

10. Listing of Sources that Expressed, in Writing, an Interest in the Acquisition:

Not applicable. It is the responsibility of the offerors, and the general contractor awarded the project to locate suppliers and obtain pricing for all materials and components, including the items listed in this justification.

11. A Statement of the Actions, if any, the Agency May Take to Remove or Overcome any Barriers to Competition before Making subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required: There will be competition for the overall procurement. It will be the responsibility of the offerors to obtain pricing from the suppliers of the items and to submit a competitive proposal for the project.

12. Requirements Certification: I certify that the requirement outlined in this justification is a Bona Fide Need of the Department of Veterans Affairs and that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification, are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
