Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For

Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C242-20-AP-3053

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 02, Albany VA Medical Center.

2237: 528-20-4-8039-0026.

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

The Albany VA Medical Center needs a covered shelter for the purpose of creating a COVID- 19 screening area near the entrance of the Medical Center. This shelter must tie in and aesthetically match two other existing shelters. Estimated cost is $53,000.00.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Albany VA Medical Center currently has two covered shelters/structures installed along an entrance of the hospital. These structures were manufactured and installed by Duo-Gard. To meet that prior requirement Duo-Gard custom designed and engineered these structures with materials needed for structural upgrades and design aesthetics to insure a complementary match to the exterior of the Albany VA Medical Center. This third structure for COVID-19 screening is required to match and connect with these two existing Duo-Gard structures.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: The Albany Logistics department contacted two other known vendors who provide these types of structures to see if they could meet the requirement – Steel Masters and Portafab. They could not build a shelter that matches the existing structures made by Duo-Gard.

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.
