Justification Emergency Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA's G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson, MS requires an emergency fixed-price design/build contract for repairing/replacing an above-ground fuel storage tank that powers backup boilers for facility temperature regulation. Capital Chlorinator & Utility Service, Incorporated is the sole contractor capable of providing this urgent requirement, with an anticipated contract value of $300,444.00.

The procurement is deemed critical because the current fuel storage tank must be replaced to ensure continuous medical care and patient safety, particularly in the event of a power failure. Market research confirmed no other Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) or Veteran Owned Small Business could fulfill this requirement. The contract will involve removing the old tank, installing a new 32,000-gallon double-wall vertical tank, connecting it to the existing fuel system, and ensuring the medical center can maintain temperature control for patient care and medical equipment during potential emergency situations.
