About this file
This single source justification document outlines a planned sole source award by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 23 to the American Nurses Credentialing Center Inc. The award is for participation in the ANCC Pathway to Excellence Program, which recognizes organizations' commitment to positive nursing practice environments. The justification cites the program's unique availability only through ANCC as the reason for limiting competition to this single source. Market research found no other sources for the nursing accreditation services required and a pre-solicitation notice posted on the System for Award Management from July 14 to 21, 2023 received no alternative responses. Upon verification of the accuracy and completeness of the justification, the contracting officer approved the planned sole source award in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).
