The contract for J045–Boiler Plant Piping is a sole-source award issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs through Network Contracting Office 23, with a total value of $43,687.00, awarded to Mark-VII Enterprises, Inc., a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. The work involves repairing the boiler plant piping system at the Omaha VA Medical Center in Nebraska, under NAICS code 238220 for Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contracting. The award is authorized under 38 U.S.C. § 8127(c) and VAAR 819.7008, which permits non-competitive procurement to qualified SDVOSBs, eliminating the need for competitive bidding or evaluation factors such as technical approach or past performance. The contract has no options, quantities, or pricing tiers; it is a single line item with a fixed price. The contracting officer, Erica Miller, is responsible for administration from the office in Coralville, Iowa, while performance occurs entirely at the Omaha facility. The awardee’s eligibility was verified through SBA’s database, and price reasonableness was confirmed using market data from USASpending.gov. No technical specifications, inspection criteria, packaging standards, or delivery terms like FOB are explicitly stated in the provided documents, though compliance with VA policies and the justifying regulatory documentation is required. The award date and posting date are both July 1, 2026, and no amendments or modifications are indicated. The contract includes no requirements for key personnel, security clearances, or conflict of interest provisions beyond the statutory basis for sole sourcing. All documentation relies on the signed Justification and Approval form and supporting attachments, which serve as the primary compliance record for the procurement.
