Single Source Justification.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document for a federal contract award under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Part 12 acquisition regulations.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 6, is procuring annual preventive and corrective maintenance services for a Virginia Water Systems (VWS) water purification system installed at the North Battlefield VA Outpatient Clinic in Chesapeake, VA. The contract period runs from August 2026 to August 2027, with four option years extending through August 2031. The estimated total contract value is redacted. Virginia Water Systems is being awarded as a single source vendor because it is the original installer and the only vendor capable of servicing the proprietary deionized water purification system without incurring additional costs, system downtime, or risk to operational continuity. The system supports critical laboratory analyzers and must maintain Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) compliance. The justification notes that alternative vendors would require costly modifications, creating duplication of expenses and potential disruption to patient care. The Contracting Officer, James Risbon from Supply/Service 1, NCO 6, certified the award under FAR 12.102(a), determining that single-source procurement from Virginia Water Systems is in the government's best interest. The acquisition plan action ID is 36C246-26-AP-3171, and the purchase request number is 590-26-3-023-0451.
