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:_36C261-25-AP-0970_____

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 21, VA Pacific Islands Healthcare System, Network Contracting Officer (NCO) 21.

Funding document: 459-25-1-761-0102

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

Continued linen supply and laundry service for same for a 6-month period at $93,000.00.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Previous contract award in 2024 and award of an IDIQ in 2020 demonstrated through market research that there is only one viable laundry service on the island of Oahu. Current market research netted similar results.

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

A search was conducted on FPDS utilizing the NAICS code 812331, and the state of Hawaii, which resulted in zero results. Additionally, On the previous contract, 36C26118P1992, an intent to sole source was posted to FBO and no other contractors said they were interested in competing on this requirement. Also, on the previous purchase order, VA261-17-P-2320 a sources sought was posted to FBO and we received no responses. The last contract was an IDIQ awarded in November 2019 with only two (2) responses from the open market, one small business Wescot based in Bethesda, Maryland and a large business United Laundry. It was found that Wescot would use the United laundry facilities for the service, and therefore had no real presence on the island. There is no expectation that any other contractor other than the incumbent, United Laundry Services, Inc., would be viable at this time.

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. Price is further determined fair and reasonable based on comparison of previously awarded prices.
