Description
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to award an out-of-scope bi-lateral modification to an existing firm-fixed price contract for the EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construction project at the Salt Lake City VAMC. The modification involves installing new 72 strand fiber cables into buildings 550 and 590, along with associated splicing and terminations. The estimated value of the modification is $182,126.18. The contractor, AC JV One, LLC, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) that has demonstrated the required qualifications to perform this work. The contract will be awarded on a sole-source basis, as it is in the best interest of the government and meets the conditions set forth in VAAR 819.7008(a).
Some key points to consider:
• The modification is an out-of-scope change to an existing contract, which may indicate a relatively short duration.
• The estimated value of the modification is $182,126.18.
• The contractor is a SDVOSB, which may provide opportunities for businesses that meet this criteria.
• The contract will be awarded on a sole-source basis, which may limit competition.
• The project involves installing new fiber cables and associated work, which may require specialized skills and equipment.
