About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification form for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) contract with the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE). The VA's VISN 23, supporting the St. Cloud VA Health Care System, seeks to procure clinical pastoral education and training for CPE residents and interns. The estimated contract value is $17,920 for the base year, with total options reaching $95,139.70.
The justification emphasizes ACPE's unique status as the only Department of Education-accredited Clinical Pastoral Education program provider, which makes them the sole source for this requirement. The St. Cloud Chaplain program specifically requires ACPE accreditation to maintain continuous learning credits and program certification. The contract is being processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) and is limited to awards not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000. The document is signed by Contract Specialist John Milroy, with an effective date of 11/15/2024.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: Provide education and clinical training for Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) residents and interns in VISN 23.
Estimate: Base $17,920 with all option years $95,139.70
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
The Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc. (ACPE) is the only recognized organization able to apply for the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) accredit program of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). The Veterans Affairs Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA) funded CPE Residency and Intern positions require CPE programs to be accredited by Department of Education (DOE). The VA Midwest Health Care Network (VISN 23) is accredited to offer Level I and II CPE programs and Certified Educator Training by the ACPE.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: The St. Cloud Chaplain program is accredited by ACPE, the hours and continuous learning credits need to be completed by the same accredited program, in this case ACPE. Because of this - ACPE is the only source that can meet the needs for St. Cloud's clinical pastoral education.
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.
