Crank Contracting Officer Network Contract Office (NCO) 10 Office: 614-625-1236 Email: gina.crank@va.gov DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K) Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C250-22-AP-3962 Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN/NCO 10, Chalmers P. Wylie Ambulatory Care Center (VAACC) 420 N. James Road, Columbus, OH 43219. 2237# 757-22-3-096-0376 Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The contractor to provide all labor and materials to remove and replace the existing Millipore Sigma RO Water System with new Millipore Sigma Pure Water System. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The current Millipore System is end of life. A new system is needed to replace current system. To avoid additional cost the new system needs configured for a direct replacement without any modification to the current electrical, plumbing, or structure. This will minimize the downtime. Also, the alarm system in SPS is already in place and won t require a modification. In addition, for an additional savings Millipore will provide a credit for turning in their current system. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted included speaking with Millipore Sigma Project Manager. Additional Market Research was completed by search of VIP using NAICS 333999 which resulted in 110 Contractors, adding key words resulted in 32 Contractors, however we believe Millipore Sigma, or their Authorized Distributors are the only Contractors able to provide this requirement without any modification to our current electrical, plumbing or structures. The VA Rule of Two is Unattainable. 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. ____________________________ ________________________ Gina P.
