J041--Repair of Blood Bank Walk-In Cooler

The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract valued at $18,786 to Lamb Mechanical Services LLC for the urgent repair of a Blood Bank Walk-In Cooler at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, IN. The acquisition, conducted under FAR 12.102(a), was justified due to an urgent operational need and the unavailability of multiple qualified sources, eliminating the need for competitive bidding. The contract, assigned solicitation number 36C25026P0549 and classified under NAICS code 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, requires full restoration of the cooler including labor, parts, testing, and commissioning as detailed in a referenced Statement of Work. Performance must commence immediately upon award, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site at the medical center by the contracting officer, Luke A. Turner of the Network Contracting Office 10 in Cincinnati, OH. No option periods, delivery schedules, or payment specifics are documented beyond the single fixed amount, and no contracting officer’s representative or technical representative is identified. The contractor’s Unique Entity ID is N8SZGXV94XM5, though socioeconomic status and CAGE code are not confirmed. The award was processed below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and no formal evaluation factors, special contract requirements, security clearances, or invoicing instructions are specified in the available documentation. All technical and procedural requirements are presumed to reside in the unprovided Attachment JA.
