1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 21, Medical Center Network Contracting Office 21 (NCO 21) Requiring Activity: VA Sierra Nevada Healthcare System, 975 Kirman Ave, Reno, NV 89502

PR: 654 22 2 6090 0213

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

The proposed purchase order is to perform upgrades to the Underground Storage Tank (UST) monitor system, Annular sensor replacement, and OPW Spill Bucket and components upgrade located at VA Reno. The proposed contractor is L.A. Perks Plumbing & Heating Inc. DBA L.A. Perks Petroleum Specialists Inc., 765 E Greg St Ste 103, Sparks, NV 89431, and the total estimated cost is

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

All underground storage tank work requires a Certified Underground Tank Handler from a company listed with the State of Nevada under the Nevada Environmental Activities page located at https://nevadaenvironmentalactivities.ndep.nv.gov/ExternalReports/ReportPopUp.aspx?Re portName=activecerts. Additionally, due to the required systems in the storage tank, the company must also be an authorized distributor of Veeder Root products. LA Perks Petroleum is the only company that meets both critical qualifications.

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

Searches through mandatory sources, AbilityOne and UNICOR, revealed that neither source can be utilized for this emergency procurement. Similarly, searches though existing VA contracts revealed no existing VA contract vehicle that can be utilized for this procurement. Searches through other government contract vehicles, such as GSA Advantage, did not reveal any vendors capable of meeting this requirement.

As outlined by the COR, two local companies were contacted as part of market research: Petro West Inc., and L.A. Perks Plumbing & Heating, Inc. DBA as L.A. Perks Petroleum Specialists, Inc. Though both companies are certified by the state of Nevada as Underground Tank Handlers and are authorized distributors for Veeder Root, Petro West Inc. is not currently registered in SAM.gov and has no intention of renewing the registration; thus, Petro West Inc. is not eligible to receive a Government contract.
