Description

JUSTIFICATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS IAW FAR 13.106-1 (OVER MICRO-PURCHASE THRESHOLD($3K) BUT NOT EXCEEDING THE SAT ($150K)) IAW FAR13.104, COs must promote competition to the maximum extent practicable to obtain supplies and services from the source whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government, considering the administrative cost of the purchase. When competition is not practicable, IAW FAR13.106-1(b), COs solicit from a single source for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. COs may solicit from one source if the CO determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3),COs are required to include additional statements explaining the absence of competition (see 13.106-1 for brand name purchases) if only one source is solicited and the acquisition does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (does not apply to an acquisition of utility services available from only one source) or supporting the award decision if other than price-related factors were considered in selecting the supplier. This template when completed can be used to document single source awards IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3). Note: Statements such as "only known source" or "only source which can meet the required delivery date" are inadequate to support a sole source purchase. 1.ACQUISITION PLAN ACTION ID: VA262-16-AP-35291A. PROJECT/TASK No. NA1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $72,540.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Contractor shall repair a failed sensor associated for the AST (Above ground storage tank), a common Veeder root of three hundred and fifty (350) monitors, and two (2) UST - underground storage tanks. In November 2015- one of this sensors failed and the State of California Water Resources Control Board issued a notice of violation letter to correct the deficiency. (If the deficiency is not corrected VAGLAHS must pay a fine of $25,000/day until corrected). A firm fixed price purchase order will be issued to Tank Tek (a small business) located at 3672 Chicago Ave, STE. B, Riverside CA 92507. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: Tank Tek has worked with VAGLAHS on AST, and UST in the past (such as maintenance and repair of AST, UST and correcting violations) and is capable of bringing the Healthcare System up to code. Additionally, Tank Tek is currently repairing other AST, and UST at VAGLAHS. Tank Teck is well qualified to provide outstanding repair of AST, and UST and is able to correct the sensor violation. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: VAGLAHS has a requirement to correct AST, and UST sensor violations in order to remain operational and provide healthcare to veterans. Tank Tek has provided this service in the past, can correct VAGLAHS violations in order to satisfy critical compliance requirements and ensure continued operation of the facility in a timely matter. If another Contractor is utilized, VAGLAHS is at risk of non-compliance, and becoming non-operational thereby affecting veteran's healthcare. VAGLAHS must correct these violations or the hospital will be non-compliant and in non-operational status. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: This is an urgent and compelling procurement to correct the violation. There were no other companies that expressed interest in providing this service. The justification will be posted within five (5) days of the purchase order award on www.fedbizopps.gov. This procurement will be awarded to Tank Tek as this is a critical requirement to keep VAGLAHS operational. 6. 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. Note: COs are required to make a determination of price reasonableness IAW FAR 13.106-3. See the Commercial Supply and Service SOP for Price Reasonableness templates. Signature: ______________________________ Date: March 21, 2016 Name: Monica Griffin Title: Contracting Officer NCO: 22
