P03 Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Single Source Award from the Department of Veterans Affairs for Architect-Engineer services at the Altoona VA Medical Center. The procurement is for the Complete Primary Care Conversion to PACT project, with a value under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000. Miller-Remick is the sole-source contractor due to being the original designer of record, with unique characteristics that limit availability to only this firm.

The services include construction period services such as reviewing submissions, providing recommendations, managing contract change proposals, and conducting fourteen (14) site visits during the project. The document justifies using Miller-Remick by noting that pursuing another firm could result in additional design costs, construction delays, and potential liability issues. The procurement is being conducted by the VA's Regional Procurement Office East Network Contracting Office (NCO) 04, with an effective date of 11/15/2024 and Acquisition ID 36C244-25-AP-4236.
