Notice of Intent to Sole Source
Chiller Tower Repairs
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Northern California Health Care System, intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract on a sole-source basis to EWA Direction, Inc., a verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for chiller tower repair services at VA facilities within the Northern California Health Care System.
The anticipated period of performance is one year from the date of contract award. The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and incidental services necessary to perform the required chiller tower repairs and associated work in accordance with the Government s specifications and applicable manufacturer, safety, and code requirements.
Authority
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 38 U.S.C. § 8127, as implemented by applicable provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR), including the authority to award contracts to verified SDVOSB concerns. The contemplated acquisition may also be conducted pursuant to the applicable procedures in RFO 12.201-1 and RFO 6.103-5 (c)(1), as appropriate to the final acquisition strategy.
Basis for Proposed Sole-Source Award
EWA Direction, Inc. is being considered for this requirement because the firm is identified as a verified SDVOSB and is considered capable of providing the specialized chiller tower repair services required by the Northern California Health Care System. The Government anticipates that restricting consideration to EWA Direction, Inc. will meet the Government s needs while supporting the statutory SDVOSB contracting program.
This notice is not a request for competitive quotations or proposals. However, interested concerns that believe they can provide the required services may submit a capability statement for the Government s consideration. Information received will be used solely to determine whether the planned sole-source acquisition should be revised.
