About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for a federal contract award under the Department of Veterans Affairs' simplified acquisition procedures. The Lt. Col. Luke Weathers Jr. Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) in Memphis, Tennessee, seeks an emergent rental of a portable air handling unit (AHU) due to malfunction of the existing unit, which has compromised the facility's ability to control humidity and temperature in sterilization areas. The estimated contract value is $32,096.84 with a performance period from February 12, 2026, through March 31, 2026. The contracting activity is located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in support of VISN 09.
The justification supports awarding a sole source contract to Agrreko, LLC, a large business local to the Memphis area, based on urgency and time sensitivity. The document notes that cancellation of the contract would result in numerous patient case cancellations. Limited market research was conducted due to the urgent nature of the requirement; a search of the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search identified two Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) profiles by NAICS code 532490, but neither was located in the local Memphis area nor capable of meeting the necessary timeline. The Contracting Officer, Diane Ziegler, certified the justification on February 11, 2026, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1 urgency provisions.
