Acquisition Plan Action ID:__ 36C252-26-AP-1760__________

1. Contracting Activity:

Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 12 Veterans Affairs Illiana Healthcare System (VAIHCS), VA Hospital

2237: [REDACTED]

Project: 550-23-108 Renovate 58-1 R102 for Supply Chain Management Service CPS Option Contracting Agency: Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC)

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

The goal of this project is to provide construction period services (construction administration) for area 58-1 R102 Supply Chain Management building. This is to support the construction project with the designs of any omissions or errors, to include administration support and site visits.

The cost estimate for this project is [REDACTED].

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

This pertains to exercising a CPS option under Project 550-23-108 Renovate 58-1 R102 for Supply Chain Management Service. The project was originally solicited under IDIQ Contract #36C25219D0055; however, that contract expired as of 2024.

The construction component of this project has been solicited and is scheduled for award by March 18, 2026. To prevent delays between the construction and CPS option phases, the Contracting Officer has determined to sole-source this project to a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) in accordance with the provisions outlined in 38 U.S.C. 8127(b), VAAR 819.7008, and FAR 6.302-5, ensuring the timely and successful completion of the required work.

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

Following the previous statement, the construction phase is imminent and will soon be awarded and will need the CPS to be awarded for guidance. Unfortunately, additional time will heighten the urgency to expedite the process, as well as possibly cost the government more money. Market research was conducted, yielding the following results:

Utilizing the Veteran Small Business Certification (SBA) database, a search identified at least 4,554 SBA-verified SDVOSB vendors worldwide. Within the surrounding states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, and Wisconsin, 195 SBA-verified SDVOSB vendors were identified, with approximately 66 located in Illinois.

Additionally, the System for Award Management (SAM) database was used to identify certified capable SDVOSBs. This search resulted in 255 SDVOSBs within the same states, of which 81 are based in Illinois.

Although other SDVOSBs are available, Guidon Design, Inc., which developed the project's designs, is the most knowledgeable SDVOSB for this project. They are capable of rapid mobilization and efficient project completion based on prior experience.

Pricing was determined fair and reasonable with the base contract in 2019, and the contractor is willing to complete CPS at the expired contracted price.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: This acquisition will be set aside and sole-sourced to a SDVOSB IAW 38 U.S.C 8127(b) and FAR 6.302-5. I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief
