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: 36C260-24-AP-3346 JOFOC Tracker: FY24 - NCO 20 – 2812
1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Services Network 20 (VISN20), Jonathan Wainwright VA Medical Center.
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
Requesting five speaker microphoner BK Radios, three dual cup desktop chargers, ten rechargable batteries for radios, four BigBoost Antennas, four whip antennas, eight single-band BKR5000 portable radios
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
These BKR5000 radio/accessories are compatible with contracted local agencies for emergency and normal dispatch services.
These radio and accessories are compatible with Lynx emergency systems. The Walla Walla VA is currently conducting market research to submit a request in FY25 to implement the Lynx Panic Button and Mass Notification Emergency Response system at our facility. This will provide not only safety mechanism for staff but also result in quicker emergency police notification and response time.
These radios were also determined to be the compatible radio for the anticipated VISN 20 Police Services FY25 procurement submission of APEX radios which will allow better continuity of communication with not only local emergency dispatch services but also communication between VA facilities in V20.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
VISN 20 Veterans Affairs Police Services anticipates to submit a procurement requirement in FY25 for APEX radios. During the research for this, the BKR5000 was determined to be the compatible radio to be used in junction with this proposed 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.
