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

The Contractor will be responsible for the emergency upgrade of the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center (VAMC) water softener treatment system, which supplies the facility with soft water up to a peak flow of 350 gallons per minute (GPM).

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

The water softener treatment system for the VAMC is failing rapidly. The controller system has malfunctioned in such a manner that there was a lack of treated water over a recent weekend, due to the controller not registering that the softener system was not processing water/was not allowing inflow to the facility.

For this reason, the services are being procured under the authority located at FAR 13.106-1

(a) (1) (iii).

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

One contractor was identified by the requestor during MR as capable and ready to begin the work needed to fix the damage to the water system:
