About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, has awarded contract 36C24426P0457 to Ground Penetrating Radar Systems LLC (GPRS) on a sole-source basis for Ground Penetrating Radar and LiDAR detection services to locate a critical infrastructure deficiency in the Emergency Fire Line water main at James E. Van Zandt Medical Center in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on August 18, 2026.
The justification invokes FAR 6.302-2 for emergency acquisitions. Fire Safety personnel identified deficient water pressure in the underground Emergency Fire Line, which serves as the primary water source for the facility's fire suppression system and is required for NFPA 99 and VA Fire Prevention compliance. The specific location of the water main failure must be identified before repairs can be executed. GPRS was selected based on demonstrated responsiveness and technical competency through previous inspections at this facility, proven experience with radar and LiDAR systems, consistently satisfactory past performance, and ability to mobilize quickly to meet urgent timeline requirements. Limited market research was conducted due to the urgent requirement; the Contracting Officer determined that proceeding without additional market research was necessary. The Contracting Officer, Edward Ferkel, certified the justification on August 14, 2026. The work is classified under NAICS 541360 (Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services) and PSC J012 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Fire Control Equipment).
