About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, issued a Sole Source Justification for emergency procurement of repair and maintenance services for a reverse osmosis water treatment system at the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center. The justification was submitted under FAR 12.102(a) for emergency procurement, as the approximately 25-year-old RO system is critical infrastructure that purifies water for dialysis treatment production, and failure to maintain it would force the medical center to suspend life-sustaining dialysis services to patients. Market research identified multiple vendors experienced with RO systems, but all recommended complete replacement rather than repair, while only the Original Equipment Manufacturer confirmed it possessed the proprietary knowledge, parts, and technical capability necessary for interim repairs and maintenance; engaging alternative sources would result in unacceptable delays due to the time required to identify, source, and validate compatible parts. The contract was awarded on March 31, 2026, under contract number 36C24426P0238, though the specific vendor name and award amount have been redacted from the justification. The justification, prepared by Contract Specialist Matthew Wright and approved by Branch Chief Mark Knorr on March 27, 2026, does not specify a timeline for services or quantity of goods, as this represents an emergency procurement action for system maintenance and restoration.
