Y1AZ--36C77623C0149 EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construction West Palm Beach

The contract, identified as 36C77623C0149 with modification P00013, is a sole-source, firm-fixed price award for the relocation of job trailers, material storage areas, and fencing at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center to facilitate the Fisher House construction project. The work involves disconnecting and reconnecting temporary utilities including power, water, and IT to ensure uninterrupted operations at the new laydown location, with performance required on-site and tied to site readiness rather than fixed dates. The contract value is $63,127 for the modified scope, with a statutory ceiling of $5 million for potential options, justified under 38 U.S.C. § 8127, which authorizes sole-source awards to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The awardee, POVOLNY GROUP, INC, is a verified SDVOSB certified under VAAR 819.7008 and FAR 6.302, with no competition deemed feasible due to the urgent need to avoid schedule delays and safety risks to ongoing VA construction activities. Pricing was determined reasonable using RS Means data and technical analysis under FAR 15.406. The contract requires adherence to federal and VA acquisition regulations but lacks detailed specifications for packaging, inspection criteria, or quality standards beyond operational functionality. All performance occurs at the West Palm Beach site, while administration is managed by the Program Contracting Activity Central in Independence, OH. The award triggers mandatory reporting under FAR 6.305, including public posting of the Justification and Approval within 14 days, and synopsization in SAM.gov. The Contracting Officer’s Representative oversees performance, with Carla Conklin serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. No additional clauses, security requirements, or key personnel specifications are included, and while market research previously confirmed eligibility under the Rule of Two, it was not repeated due to the emergent nature of the requirement.
