- JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION 1.Identification of the Agency and the Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Great Lakes Acquisition Center, 5000 W National Avenue Bldg 5, Milwaukee WI 53295 2.Nature and/or description of the action being approved: Justification and approval for other than full and open competition for the Installation and Upgrade of Burner for Boiler Systems, Building-5 at the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital, Hines, Illinois. 3.A description of supplies/services required: VA Hines has an urgent requirement for the purchase and installation of a Burner for the Boiler System at Bldg-5. Building-5 is the "Boiler House", and contains the Hines VA campus boiler systems. Market research through NAICS specific 238220 and VOSB show 63 KR's statewide and 3,136 nationwide. However, few show experience specific to boiler systems, most relating to heating and AC. Therefore it is recommended that the VA seek the services of DePue Mechanical as a VOSB sole source contractor. 4.Statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition: FAR 6.302-1(a) (2) and FAR 6.302-5(b)(6), 15USC 657f. The VA's minimum needs can only be satisfied by unique supplies or services available from only one source. (41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1)). 5.Facilities Unique Qualifications: The technical complexity of these boiler systems require professional expertise and limits the available qualified boiler systems contractors. The unique expertise of DePue Mechanical is in their experience particular to the Safeguard Supervisory System and controls at VA Hines, IL. This is a critical safety system and does not allow for a "learning curve". 6.Efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable: N/A -Sole source to VOSB Specialty Trade (NAICS 238220). 7.Actions to remove or overcome any barriers to competition: None 8.Certification: I certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. ______________________________________ DEAN J.
