About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 5, has awarded a sole-source contract to United Rentals for temporary chiller, air handler, and generator rental on May 15, 2026, under contract 36C24526P0406 for $255,607.27.
The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b) and rests on urgent and compelling operational need: the air handler in the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center's commercial laundry failed, and ambient temperature was forecast to reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday, May 18, 2026. United Rentals, a local vendor, was the only source capable of mobilizing the required equipment and having it operational by that deadline. Cursory market research confirmed that competing local equipment rental firms lacked the necessary equipment to meet this need. The acquisition falls under FAR 13.106-1 for purchases over the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold ($350,000). NAICS 532412 (Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing) and PSC W038 (Lease or Rental of Equipment—Construction, Mining, Excavating, and Highway Maintenance Equipment) apply.

Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: Temporary Chiller, Air Handler and generator, 255k
Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: This is an urgent and compelling need due to an Air Handler being down in the commercial laundry of the Medical Center. The temperature is forecasted to go to 90 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday 5/18/2026. United Rentals is a local company that can have the equipment up and functioning by Monday 5/18/2026.
Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
Cursory market research was performed. Most local equipment rentals within the immediate area do not have the equipment to support this need.
Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Awarded contract 36C24526P0406 to UNITED RENTALS for 255607.27000000 on 2026-05-15.
