C1DA--PN: 636A8-22-001, Reno 6th Floor Clinical Support CPS {IC} Sole Source CPS Only

The contract awards Construction Period Services (CPS) to Geo Bancroft Engineering LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, under a sole-source authority granted by 38 U.S.C. § 8127(c) and implemented through VAAR 819.7008. The action, identified by solicitation number 36C26326R0055 and award number 36C26326C0043, is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract valued at $223,185.96, activated as an unexercised option from a prior design task order. The scope of work requires the original architect-engineer to provide continued support during construction at the Iowa City VA Health Care System, including responding to Requests for Information, issuing Instructions for Corrective Actions, producing record drawings, and ensuring fidelity to the original design intent established by Stone Group Architects, Inc. No competition was pursued due to the critical need for design continuity, the high risk of rework or liability if a new firm assumed responsibility, and the significant cost and schedule inefficiencies that would result from restarting design efforts. The contract does not include line-item breakdowns, option extensions beyond the base award, or physical delivery requirements, as it is purely a professional services acquisition governed by engineering standards under NAICS code 541330. The place of performance is in Iowa City, IA, and all work must comply with the Buy American Act and Trade Agreements Act with no exceptions. The award relies entirely on the contractor’s prior involvement in the project, with no formal key personnel named but an implicit requirement that the original design team remain engaged. No security clearances, packaging specifications, or marking requirements apply. The contract is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, with Tommy Opal serving as the primary point of contact for administrative matters, and Michael B. Warrick listed as the Contracting Officer. The contractor’s SDVOSB status is verified through SAM.gov and remains a foundational condition of award, requiring ongoing compliance and annual recertification under FAR 19.1406.
