About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for a procurement under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1, covering purchases over the Micro-Purchase Threshold but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Chillicothe Medical Center (Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C250-26-AP-3041) seeks to procure "BEST" brand key cores compatible with the facility's existing standardized keying system. The estimated cost is redacted in the document. The justification for single-source procurement is based on security and standardization requirements: the Chillicothe VAMC has standardized its keying system exclusively to the BEST brand to maintain controlled access to facility areas and restrict lock information to only the VAMC lock shop and BEST. Switching to an alternative locking system would compromise security protocols and lose control over access to patient, staff, supply, equipment, facility, and medication security. All new lockset cylinders must accommodate the existing Grand Master Key System. No market research was conducted, as the facility operates thousands of doors requiring standardized BEST cores. Contracting Officer Stan Burdine certified approval on July 23, 2026, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).

VHAPG Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for MPT up to SAT
Revision: 02 Effective Date: 12/30/2025 Page 1 of 1 Acquisition ID#
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For Over Micro- Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold
Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C250-26-AP-3041
1. Contracting Activity:
Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Chillicothe Medical Center.
2237 #: 538-26-4-6983-0011
2. Brief Description of Supplies/Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
“BEST” brand key cores that are compatible with existing standardized keying system. Estimated cost is ………….
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
The Chillicothe, Ohio VAMC has standardized the keying system and the “BEST” keying system has been the choice. This has been limited to provide security so that the VAMC lock shop and BEST are the only ones that have the lock information for the Hospital Facility. If we used a different locking system, it would result in a loss of the current level of control access to all areas of the campus. The loss of control over this very important information would compromise the security of patients, staff, supplies, equipment, facilities and medications. The new lockset cylinders must be able to accommodate the existing Grand Master Key System.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
The facility has thousands of doors and each lockset must be able to accommodate the BEST core for standardization purposes.
5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
