About this file
This is a Justification for Single Source Awards document submitted by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 21, on behalf of the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System for acquisition ID 36C261-26-AP-4475. The requirement involves replacing, retrofitting, and installing 25 PG LifeLink Mark IV & V to SafeDetec isolation monitors, along with retrofit installation services and after-hours installation fees, with an estimated total cost of $71,345.00. The monitors are required to ensure proper grounding for equipment in operating rooms and are justified as a sole-source procurement to Post Glover Lifelink Inc (PG Lifelink), a Small Disadvantaged Business.
The justification cites equipment compatibility with existing systems as the primary rationale for single-source selection, noting that alternative monitors would create additional costs for equipment and training while causing significant operational delays. Market research was conducted using multiple databases including SAM.gov, ADDS UP, FPDS, and the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) under NAICS code 335311 (which has an 800-employee size standard). While 258 Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses were identified in the database, no additional available sources or vendors capable of providing PG LifeLink equipment and electrical installation services were found. A previous sources-sought notice (36C24523Q0802) for NCO 5 resulted in a sole-source award to the same vendor. The contracting officer, Victoria M. Torres, certified the justification as accurate and complete as of the effective date of December 30, 2025.
