About this file

This document contains a single source justification for the acquisition of HID MultiCLASS SE card readers for the Department of Veterans Affairs Clement J. Zablocki Medical Center. The medical center has facility standards requiring the use of HID MultiCLASS card readers for all new construction to ensure compatibility with existing physical security requirements, IT systems, and credentials in circulation. Using other manufacturers' card readers would require maintaining separate access control systems and stocking replacement parts, increasing costs and administrative burden. Market research found other products to be inferior and incompatible. The justification requests approval to acquire $5,000 of HID MultiCLASS SE card readers on a single source basis due to these compatibility and standardization needs. The related federal contract opportunity is for upgrades to Building 112 power systems at the Zablocki Medical Center under solicitation number 36C25222B0030 issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12.

Last Updated: 02/01/22 Page 1 of 1

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

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:___ 36C252-22-AP-3493_

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 12, Clement J. Zablocki Medical Center, NCO 12 Construction Team 695-22-4-6970-0009.

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

The product series HID MultiCLASS SE card readers are facility standards. This card reader series works with all current credentials in circulation, and the different security software packages currently in use. It would be extremely cumbersome and expensive to maintain separate access control systems./$5,000.

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

The medical center requires all new construction to incorporate the HID MultiCLASS SE card readers.

This is the only compatible card reader series balancing out Physical security requirements, IT requirements, old key card credentials, and new key card credentials. It is also important to note that maintaining bench stock for the parts and components of multiple different access control system would be expensive and time-consuming. Use of other brands would require duplicating efforts in training and increase the stock on hand for replacement parts. These items are competitively priced and are widely available.

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

We have conducted research into other hardware and have found that it is inferior and not compatible with our standards. The other products on the market would require additional cost to maintain within the facility.

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.
