Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract for EHRM JSA-FDS Support Upgrades to Sergeant Construction Inc. This award, under a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside, addresses critical infrastructure improvements for the Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) Joint Security Architecture (JSA) - Forward Deployed Services (FDS) at the Alexandria VA Health Care System (AVAHCS) in Pineville, LA.

- Infrastructure improvements such as electrical power (A/B) and procurement/installation of B side UPS.

- Duration: 150 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP).

Evaluation
This procurement was justified as a sole-source award under "Other Than Full and Open Competition" (41 USC §3304(a)(5) and 38 U.S. Code § 8127(c)). Sergeant Construction Inc. was identified as a verified SDVOSB and the only responsible source capable of delivering the required solution within the necessary timeframe. This was not a competitive solicitation, so standard proposal submission and evaluation criteria were not applicable.
Additional Notes
The agency determined that attempting a full and open competition would create unacceptable delays. Market research identified 19 VOSB/SDVOSB contractors for NAICS code 236220, but few specialized in mission-critical VA IT electrical power upgrades. The Justification and Approval (J&A) document was published on SAM.gov and will remain posted for 30 days.
