About this file

This document contains a single source justification for a fire alarm system and details of a federal contract opportunity to demolish an existing building.

The single source justification is for the Siemens Cerberus Pyrotronics fire alarm system, not to exceed $7,500, to be installed at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is necessary to use this specific system as it will integrate seamlessly with the existing campus-wide Pyrotronics system, ensuring patient and worker safety are maintained at the highest level.

The federal contract opportunity is to demolish Building 45 at the same VA Medical Center location. The contractor will dismantle the building in a controlled manner to minimize loss of historic bricks, which will be reclaimed for repair of other historic buildings. The area will then be converted to a parking lot and greenspace. The project value is estimated between $2,000,000 to $5,000,000. The solicitation is scheduled to post on July 8, 2021 with a bid opening on August 11, 2021. A pre-bid conference will also be held. This opportunity is set aside 100% for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106‐1 For

Over Micro‐Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C252‐21‐AP‐3286

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Great Lakes Acquisition Center, NCO 12, 115 South

84th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53214. Requesting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 12, Clement J.

Zablocki VA Medical Center, 5000 W. National Avenue, Milwaukee WI 53295. Purchase Request (2237) number: 695‐21‐4‐6950‐0009

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

This product, Siemens Cerberus Pyrotronics System is the only product that allows for a single fire alarm system to be used throughout the Milwaukee facility. VA Milwaukee currently has the Cerberus Pyrotronics

System as the campus‐wide fire alarm system. The equipment to be installed will be monitored the existing campus‐wide Pyrotronics Fire Alarm.

The estimated expected cost for Siemens Cerberus Pyrotronics System material is $7,500.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The fire alarm system will activate alarms within the building to alert occupants that assistance may be required. Installation of a system that interfaces properly with the existing system will ensure patient safety is maintained at the highest level. Additionally, installation of components that match the existing fire alarm system minimizes maintenance costs and bench stock requirements. No other system will integrate with our existing fire protection system. It is necessary to match the existing system to ensure there are no interface problems and that system operation and maintenance is maintained to ensure patient and worker safety.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

We have not been able to identify any other system that offers a seamless integration with our existing system.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106‐1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
