About this file
This document is a Justification for Single Source Award under FAR 13.101 by the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Cemetery Administration for Solicitation ID 36C78626B0013.
The Government requires irrigation system components for Tallahassee National Cemetery, including controllers, decoders, communication interface, rotary sprinklers, valve-in-head sprinklers, and 24v/ac electric valves. Specifically, the procurement calls for Rain Bird ESP-LXD two-wire decoder controller with ESP-LXD SM75, Rain Bird FD-TURF/FD-102/FD-202 decoders, Rain Bird 5000/8005 gear-driven sprinklers, Rain Bird Eagle 732 valve-in-head sprinklers, and Rain Bird PESB-PRS-D electric valves. The justification establishes that Rain Bird is the sole source because the existing irrigation system at Tallahassee National Cemetery is a Rain Bird system, and these proprietary components are only compatible with that existing equipment. Substituting components from another manufacturer would require complete system replacement, resulting in significant additional costs and operational disruption. Market research was conducted using online search databases, commercial catalogs, and vendor inquiries with SiteOne and Ewing Irrigation companies, confirming no other manufacturers produce compatible components. The technical certification was provided by Jason Edwards, Agronomist, and approved by Daniel Kinney, Contracting Officer, both digitally signed on April 10, 2026 and April 13, 2026, respectively.
