Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the PCAC (36C776) office, has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for an out-of-scope, bilateral modification to an existing firm-fixed-price contract (36C77623C0149) for "EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construction" at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center. This modification is being processed under Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302) and is authorized for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
Scope of Work
This modification covers the relocation of existing job trailers, material storage areas, and associated fencing to a new laydown location. This includes the disconnection and reconnection of temporary utilities (power, water, IT) to ensure continuous operation of the trailers. The relocation is necessary to maintain site access and support ongoing VA construction activities for the adjacent Fisher House project.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (Modification to existing contract 36C77623C0149)
- Modification Type: Out-of-scope, bilateral modification (P00013)
- Authorization: 41 USC § 3304(a)(5), 38 U.S. Code § 8127, and VAAR 806.302-570 (permitting non-competitive procedures for SDVOSB)
- Incumbent Contractor: TPG (POVOLNY GROUP, INC, THE)
- Estimated Value: Not to exceed $5 million (Modification P00013 was awarded for $63,127.00)
- Published Date: May 13, 2026
Rationale for Sole Source
The incumbent contractor, TPG, was selected due to its existing responsibility for maintaining the trailers, familiarity with the site, and established presence within active construction zones. Engaging a new contractor would introduce significant schedule and safety risks. Market research prior to the original contract award indicated an adequate number of SDVOSB concerns, and due to the emergent nature and tight coordination needs, additional market research for this specific modification was deemed not beneficial.
Impact on Bidders
This document serves as a justification for awarding a modification to an existing contract on a sole-source basis to an SDVOSB, rather than soliciting new offers. It details the specific work required for the relocation and the rationale for using other than full and open competition. This is not a new solicitation for bids.
