This Special Notice is an Award Notice for an emergency condensate tank replacement contract at the Southern Florida Veterans Affairs Health Care System (SFVAHCS). The contract was awarded to Midwest Boiler Repair of Sioux Falls, South Dakota on January 13, 2026, under FAR 6.302-2 authority for unusual and compelling urgency. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, issued this notice. The award amount is $116,000.00, with the procurement managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office located in Coralville, Iowa. Senior Contracting Officer Joshua I. Imdacha served as the point of contact for this acquisition.

The purpose of this contract is to address a critical failure of the condensate tank in the boiler plant at the VA Medical Center, necessitating emergency replacement to mitigate multiple operational and safety risks. These risks include regulatory compliance violations with Joint Commission and OSHA standards, burn hazards to personnel, potential boiler shutdowns, and compromised infection control environments that could disrupt hospital operations. The original response deadline was January 16, 2026 at 4:00 PM Central Time; however, this is an Award Notice indicating the contract has already been awarded. Midwest Boiler Repair was selected as the sole source vendor due to its immediate availability and ability to provide a direct replacement with identical tank specifications and rapid repair capability. No market research was conducted given the urgent nature of the required repairs, and the single-source justification was certified on December 16, 2025, with an effective date of December 30, 2025. This procurement falls under NAICS code 811310 and PSC code J045 for maintenance and repair of plumbing, heating, and waste disposal equipment.
