About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for a contract modification under simplified acquisition procedures at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The contracting activity is the Department of Veterans Affairs, RPO East, NCO 2 Contracting Office in Bath, New York, procuring services for the Buffalo VA Medical Center located at 3495 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo, New York. The requirement is a modification to existing contract 36C24222P0648 to replace 34 steam safety relief valves on the boiler system at Buffalo VA Medical Center. The modification is necessary to achieve compliance with VHA directives for boiler safety and Boiler Efficiency Institute standards, which mandate that all steam safety relief valves exposed to or potentially exposed to steam pressure of 15 psi or more must be constructed of steel. The estimated contract amount falls between the micro-purchase threshold and the simplified acquisition threshold, qualifying for single source award procedures under FAR 13.106-1(b).
The justification for single source award is based on market research demonstrating that B.J. Muirhead is the only authorized service provider for Cleaver Brooks boiler systems in the Western New York region. The Cleaver-Brooks authorized service provider database was checked and confirmed B.J. Muirhead as the sole provider, with Cleaver-Brooks providing a proprietary letter on contract file substantiating this finding. The contracting officer, Nathan Northrup, certified the purchase on June 15, 2026, approving the single source award in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). The acquisition plan action ID is 36C-242-26-AP-3322, with an effective date of December 30, 2025.
