Acquisition Plan Action ID:_36C261-24-AP-1929_____________________

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 21, Ioannis A. Lougaris Medical Center, Reno, Nevada. Funding document 654-24-2-6059-0030.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

A correction to the Heating Ventilation Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system is needed to increase the airflow exchanges in the Cardiac Cath Lab to meet VA Guidelines, cost is estimated at $102,280.80.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

Upon completion of construction project Reno Radiology Renovation, it was found that the air flow exchanges were deficient in the Cardiac Cath Lab causing theVA Sierra Nevada Healthcare System to close their Cardiac Cath Lab until the airflow could be corrected. The source of the deficiency was undetermined and could have been a latent defect from a previous project. The Architect Engineer of record assisted with a solution to correct the airflows. Due to the urgency in re-opening the Cardiac Cath Lab, we used a contractor currently under contract to evaluate and correct HVAC systems at other locations throughout the hospital for the Sterile Process Service (SPS).

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Market research was not conducted, as we had an urgent need and a contractor who was competitively awarded a project consisting in big part of HVAC work was in progress. They had the appropriate equipment and staff to complete the work in less than 30 days.

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. The price has been determined to be fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.403-1 (b)(2)(v) Comparison of proposed prices with independent Government cost estimates.
