V--FY 14-Ambulance Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Louis Stokes VA Medical Center, plans to award a sole source contract for ambulance transportation services at the Wade Park Campus to Mobil Martin, located in Lakewood, Ohio. This decision is based on the authority under FAR 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency related to proprietary issues and the need for compatibility. The contract performance period is set from October 1, 2013, through November 30, 2013. This notice serves as an announcement of intent rather than a solicitation for competitive proposals, and the government retains full discretion on whether to pursue competition based on responses received. The solicitation will be officially posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website in the near future. The contract falls under NAICS code 621910, which pertains to ambulance services. Key contractual and communication activities will be managed through the Network Contracting Office 10 at the VA Healthcare System of Ohio, with Roman Savino designated as the contact person for this requirement. This single-source approach aims to meet urgent service needs efficiently while ensuring service continuity and compliance with regulatory requirements.
