ATTACHMENT I - SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DOCS.pdf

This document is a Justification for Single Source Awards from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for multiple equipment replacements at the Dayton Medical Center. The procurement covers four separate items: Bell and Gosset Heat Exchangers (Model # SU183-2), Bell and Gosset Steam Trap (Model # 2FTB-30), Bell and Gosset Elastographic Gaskets (Model # 3-299-9-00-929), and Bell and Gosset 2-Pass Elastographic Gasket (Model # 3-298-9-00-932). The VA determined these single-source procurements are necessary due to critical infrastructure failures, with the hospital's heating water heat exchangers being old and only one currently functioning properly.

Market research identified 1,067 SD/VOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) firms capable of performing the repairs. The VA will solicit these services as a 100% SDVOSB set-aside under NAICS code 238220. The contracting activity is the VA's Network Contracting Office 10 in Kettering, Ohio, with the medical center located in Dayton. The effective date is 11/15/2024, and the acquisition is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b), with the total estimated amount redacted in the document. The procurement aims to ensure system redundancy and seamless hospital operations before the next heating season.
