Cyberfeds Justification Redacted_Redacted.pdf

This is a Limited Sources Justification document for a federal procurement action under FAR Part 8.405-6 by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Veterans Health Administration's Workforce Management and Consulting office at 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420 is procuring subscription licenses to CyberFEDS on the Web, a proprietary federal employment law database. The acquisition is a sole-source, fixed-price purchase order placed against GSA Multiple Award Schedule Contract 47QTCA20D002P with LRP Publications, Inc., located at 360 Hiatt Drive, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418-7106. The estimated contract value is redacted but covers a twelve-month base year plus two twelve-month option years, providing 520 user licenses in the base year and an additional 200+/- licenses in each option year. The proposed contractor is the sole provider and proprietor of CyberFEDS, which offers searchable federal employment case law, forms, tools, and references with Peter Broida legal treatises on MSPB, FLRA, and federal sector labor arbitration. The justification cites CyberFEDS as unique and essential for VHA human resources professionals, with no identified alternative vendors providing comparable consolidated federal employment resources on a single platform. Market research confirmed no other sources meet requirements through searches of SAM.gov, GSA's eLibrary, VetCert Small Business Search, and a VISN-wide survey. The document includes certification from the contracting officer that the justification is accurate and complete and confirms this is a bona fide need of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
