Rationale for Sole Source
Geo Bancroft Engineering LLC was previously awarded a competitively bid contract to furnish 100% Construction Documents for this specific project. The VA requires Construction Period Services to administer the project throughout its construction phase, utilizing the firm's already completed design documents. Sole sourcing to Geo Bancroft Engineering LLC is justified to avoid duplication of costs, labor efforts, and unwarranted time delays, as the firm possesses the necessary experience and technical knowledge of the project's original design. Market research was conducted, including querying SBA for SDVOSB vendors, and no responses were received to a prior Notice of Intent.
Response and Challenge
This is a Notice of Intent to sole source and not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitation will be issued. Firms that believe the VA should not pursue this sole source procurement with Geo Bancroft Engineering LLC must submit information by April 22, 2026, 10:00 AM CT. Submissions should be sent via email to Tommy Opal at tommy.opal@va.gov. No telephone responses or inquiries will be accepted. The Department of Veterans Affairs will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed contract based upon responses is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Additional Notes
A Notice of Justification & Approval (J&A) document will be made available via Contract Opportunities in accordance with FAR 6.301 after the award.
