APPROVAL Based on the foregoing findings, I hereby determine, within the meaning of FAR 6.302-5 and in accordance with FAR 6.304(a)(2) and VAAR 806.304 and the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 that: a.It is in the best interest of the Iowa City, VA Medical Center to acquire the installation/construction services for the installation of the ARJO Inc. ceiling patient lift systems from AWG Services, Inc.
