About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for a non-personal services contract under the simplified acquisition threshold. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Regional Procurement Office West, Network Contracting Office 21, is seeking to award a follow-on contract to Keish Environmental for monitoring and reporting of Matadero Creek at the Palo Alto VA Hospital. The estimated contract value is $70,560.00 for the base year and three option years. The requirement is to ensure compliance with the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System's Matadero Creek Outfall Restoration Project Habitat Restoration Mitigation Monitoring Plan and applicable Water Board 401 permits, which mandate five years of post-mitigation monitoring. Keish Environmental has already completed approximately one and a half years of monitoring under the previous contract 36C26125P0209, and this acquisition will complete the remaining monitoring period and deliver a five-year comprehensive report.
The contracting officer justifies the single source award to Keish Environmental based on the follow-on nature of the work and the requirement to maintain continuity to avoid restarting monitoring efforts and associated costs. No additional market research was conducted, though the document notes that any similar future requirements will be competed to the maximum extent practicable. The purchase request number is 640-26-1-5057-0016, and the acquisition was approved on March 17, 2026, by Contracting Officer Jose Hernandez under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b).
