AI Contract Overview
The West Palm Beach Veterans Affairs Medical Center plans to enter into a sole source contract with Superior Optical Inc. to provide eyeglass dispensary services from October 1, 2011, through November 11, 2011. This short-term contract is necessary due to delays in awarding a new long-term contract through a competitive, service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside procurement. The previous contract with Superior Optical Inc. expired on September 30, 2011, but the new procurement process faced two challenges regarding the Service Contract Act and NAICS code which delayed the solicitation response date and subsequent evaluation process. These delays require a transition period to prevent any interruption in service. Because there is only one responsible source capable of fulfilling the agency's requirements during this interim period, Superior Optical Inc., the incumbent provider, is the sole viable option for continuous eyeglass dispensary services. The evaluation of offers from the revised solicitation is expected to take up to four weeks, followed by up to two weeks for transition. The contract justification is based on the necessity to avoid an unacceptable break in service, and therefore, no responses are solicited for this notice. Comments related to the sole source decision were invited by September 26, 2011, and the finalized justification will be posted after the contract award.
