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: 36C246-24-AP-5760

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 06, Hampton VA Medical Center, 100

Emancipation Drive, Hampton, VA 23667.

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

This is an Emergency Sole Source Procurement for Third Party Commissioning Services for the

Asheville VA Medical Center. The Commissioning Agent is responsible for the overseeing of the

Asheville Operating Room commissioning process to ensure that the construction contractor is performing in accordance with their contract with regard to the building the environment IAW with the contract documents, design documentation, drawings, and specifications. Currently the

Construction Contractor is planning to close ceilings and walls of the newly built portions of the building and the Agency is in immediate need of these critical inspection services. The anticipated value of this requirement is: $XXXXXX

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

Commanders Concepts Commissioning, LLC. is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business

(SDVOSB) company that specializes in performing Third Party Commissioning Services. The

Contractor was initially contacted by the Asheville VAMC for a budgetary proposal and assessment in which they immediately reported to the site and swiftly prepared & submitted a quote.

Furthermore, the contractor’s ability to immediately mobilize allows the U.S. Government to avoid very costly construction project delays.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

None. This is an emergency requirement for Third Party Commissioning Services for the Asheville

Operating Room Expansion and Renovation Project. Any additional delay for standard acquisition practices would result in grave financial detriment to the US Government and its associated taxpayers as well as additional delays in restoring the Asheville VAMC Operating Rooms to an operational status to avoid needless continued outsourcing to local area hospitals.

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.
