JA Lowering Devices Maint_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Single Source Awards (IAW FAR 13.106-1) for the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration. The Sacramento National Cemetery requires one (1) new Frigid Fluid Master Oversized Lowering Device and one (1) new Frigid Fluid Master Placement Device, along with onsite maintenance service and repair for casket lowering devices over 365 calendar days. The justification is based on unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source: Frigid Fluid Company, a small business that is the sole manufacturer and distributor of these specific lowering devices for national cemeteries. A historical review showed the previous Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for these devices expired on 10 March 2025, and market research confirmed Frigid Fluid Company as the exclusive manufacturer of these specialized cemetery equipment devices.
