Rationale for Sole Source
The VA is proceeding with a sole source award to HAMILTON ALLIANCE, INC., the incumbent provider, due to the critical and urgent nature of uninterrupted waste services. A service gap would pose immediate infection control, public health, and regulatory compliance concerns in a hospital environment. This award is authorized under VA's Veterans First Contracting Program (38 U.S.C. 8127(b) and (c) and VAAR 819.7008) for sole source awards to verified SDVOSBs. The Contracting Officer has determined the proposed price is fair and reasonable.

This notice is for informational purposes only and is not a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation will be issued, and the Government does not intend to consider or evaluate statements of capability or expressions of interest from other vendors. The VA will proceed with the sole source award to HAMILTON ALLIANCE, INC.
