The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 9 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has awarded a sole-source contract valued at $125,600 to A Total Solution LLC for the replacement of a 40-year-old exhaust fan at the Lexington VAMC Troy Bowling Campus in Lexington, Kentucky. The contract, identified as solicitation number 36C24926Q0242 and awarded under simplified acquisition procedures per FAR 13.106-1 and VAAR 819.7008, was issued without competition due to the critical nature of the equipment and the unavailability of other qualified sources. The project aims to prevent operational disruption to patient care by replacing a failing HVAC component with a compatible unit, ensuring continued functionality and safety. The work is scheduled for performance between June 1, 2026, and September 30, 2026, with inspection and acceptance to occur on-site at the Lexington facility. The contractor is a verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, a key factor supporting the non-competitive award under VA socioeconomic authorities. The contract does not include detailed line-item pricing, option periods, or specific packaging and marking requirements, and no formal evaluation factors, weights, or inspection criteria beyond functional reliability and regulatory compliance are documented. Payment instructions, accounting codes, and invoicing system details are not provided, and contact information for the Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative is absent. The award is based on urgency, technical uniqueness, local responsiveness, and strict adherence to VA policies for SDVOSB procurement, with all documentation referencing the Single Source Justification and technical specification document P03 SSJ 36C249-26-AP-1776 as supporting materials.
