J055--INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE- *EMERGENCY* Hemodialysis Floor Repair-LLVAHCS

The Department of Veterans Affairs NCO 22 Long Beach intends to negotiate a sole source contract with SGV Enterprises, Inc. to provide urgent flooring repair and installation services for the Hemodialysis Department of the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System. EMERGENCY due to risk of falls and infection control, this department has been vacated and must be back in operation as soon as possible to prevent loss of essential patient services. Due to this urgent need market research was not conducted and a sole source acquisition is in the best interest of the government. This procurement is being conducted in accordance FAR 6.302-2, An unusual and compelling urgency precludes full and open competition; and (2) Delay in award of a contract would result in serious injury, financial or other, to the Government. Contract is firm fixed price and the NAICS Code is 238330. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitations documents are available and telephone requests will not be honored. However, if a firm believes it can meet the requirements it must furnish information about its products and services, as well as references from other customers who are using these products and service, to the Contract Specialist within seven (7) calendar days from the date of publication of this synopsis. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirements. Information must be sent to the Contract Specialist, Cristine Carmody, VA Long Beach NCO22, 4811 Airport Plaza Drive, Long Beach 90815 or cristine.carmody@va.gov. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the VA will proceed with the sole source negotiation with SGV Enterprises, Inc.
