About this file
This is a Single Source Justification for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 20, White City Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The acquisition, identified as Plan Action ID 36C260-26-AP-0654, is for Lynx brand name software and support services over a base period plus four option years. Specifically, the requirement includes Lynx Standard Servicer with SSA capabilities and Lynx SMS Pro 10k SMS/Year to support the existing Lynx Panic Duress System at White City VAMC's Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center and Clinic (VA SORCC).
The justification establishes that only Lynx brand name software services can fulfill this requirement because the facility has an existing Lynx Security System that functions as a critical safety system. The system provides two-button panic alerts directly to VA Police Dispatch with real-time location identification by building, room number, and parking lot location, and triggers instant panic alarm notifications to local police upon user activation. Although multiple authorized Lynx distributors and dealers exist, no alternative brand names can be substituted without compromising the system's safety functionality for VA patients and staff. Market research conducted in December 2025 included reviewing agency catalogs, contacting Lynx for authorized dealers, and consulting the SBA VetCert database. Based on this research, the requirement was determined to be eligible for competition as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside. The Contracting Officer, Danielle Carrico, certified and approved the purchase on January 20, 2026, under FAR 13.106-1(b). The JOFOC reference is FY26-NCO20-467.
