The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 02 in Buffalo, NY, has awarded a sole-source contract to L1 Enterprises Incorporated, a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, for the lease, installation, configuration, and annual preventative maintenance of four ScrubEx units at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, NY. The contract, identified by solicitation number 36C24226Q0469 and award number 36C24226P0573, has a base period of one year from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods, totaling a potential five-year performance window. The award is justified under FAR 6.302-5(c)(2)(ii) and VAAR 819.7008, authorized by Public Law 109-461, Section 502, and is subject to a statutory maximum value of $5 million, though the base award amount is $357,772.80. The contract is structured as a best-value acquisition, allowing the government to evaluate non-price factors alongside cost in determining award, and no competitive solicitation was conducted due to the exclusive eligibility of the awardee as an SDVOSB. The contracting officer, Jamie Boyar, serves as the primary point of contact, and responsibility for acceptance of services rests with the government, though no specific inspection criteria, technical specifications, or quality standards are outlined beyond compliance with federal procurement regulations. Funding is drawn from Recovery Act funds, with a Product Service Code of S209 and a NAICS code of 812331. No line-item pricing, packaging requirements, delivery terms, or invoicing method are detailed, and while the contract includes option years, their pricing and quantities remain unspecified. The contractor must maintain its SDVOSB status throughout performance and comply with reporting obligations tied to sole-source justification and contractor responsibility determinations, with no mention of COR/COTR designation, security requirements, or organizational conflict of interest provisions.
