P03_ Single Source Justification FULLY_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document from the Department of Veterans Affairs for the acquisition of MetroMax high-density shelving system for the Providence VA Medical Center. The procurement is for a new, brand-name requirement consisting of 32' 4.15" qwikTRAK MetroMax shelving system with twelve 18x72 mobile units, one 24x72 intermediate unit, two 24x72 end units, and two 12-ft tracks with 6-tier/level solid bottoms.

The justification cites that the procurement is being made to an SDVOSB firm under the SAT ($250K) through InterMetro Industries Corp. as the OEM manufacturer. Market research included searches of VetCert, GSA e-Library, SBA DSBS, and FPDS databases, which identified potential suppliers but confirmed the requirement should be set aside for SDVOSB firms. The justification notes that polymer racks are the best option for the Operating Room, as wire racks can damage sterile supplies. The acquisition plan ID is 36C241-25-AP-1789, with funding code 650-25-2-7821-0015. The document is signed by the Contracting Officer with an effective date of 11/15/2024.
