About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification form for a brand name procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA Northern California Health Care System requires six (6) ASCO 7000 Series Bypass Transfer Switches and associated 12" pull boxes for the Mather VA Campus in Sacramento, CA, with a total estimated cost of $230,330.82. The switches are critical for emergency power supply and ensuring continuity of patient care services during power outages.
The procurement is being conducted as a single-source award due to the proprietary and highly specialized nature of the ASCO equipment, which is the only compatible system with existing infrastructure at the VA Mather facility. Market research was conducted using the Federal Procurement Data System, GSA Advantage, and a sources sought process, which yielded one response from a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. The contracting officer certified the justification in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b), with the solicitation expected to be submitted by June 30, 2025, and any questions to be received by June 25, 2025.

The Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) required for this procurement are proprietary and highly spcialized.

The unique configuration and integration requirements of these switches make them non-interchangeable with alternatives, thereby limiting availability to a single source.
