About this file
This document is a single source justification for a federal contract award under $250,000. The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to procure a Nexgen rack system from Allentown including all additional supplies needed for immediate use upon arrival at their facilities in Murfreesboro, TN and Nashville, TN. The NexGen racking system is compatible with the existing housing units and is the only system that can fully integrate within the facility's existing infrastructure. No additional training would be required for staff to operate the new units. The housing units being requested are the exact size and style needed. Market research found that no other retailers offer racks of the same specifications to hold 144 cages in a double-sided rack. The contracting officer has approved the single source purchase in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).
