    EXCEPTION TO FAIR OPP.pdf
    The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks approval for a non-competitive procurement of the AvaSure Virtual Sitter from Sierra7, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). This monitoring system aims to reduce patient falls and injuries through audio and visual observation, comprising software, modules, and support services. The statutory basis for this sole-source acquisition is found under the Veterans First Contracting Program (38 U.S.C. 8127(c)), which allows contracts with veteran-owned businesses under specific conditions. Market research confirmed Sierra7, Inc. as the only qualified supplier for this system, with no alternatives available through GSA or other federal contracts. The anticipated cost is projected to be fair and reasonable, consistent with existing NASA SEWP contract pricing. The contracting officer certifies that the justification for bypassing competitive bidding is accurate, and future efforts will be made to explore competitive options if market conditions change. The action underscores the VA's commitment to supporting veteran-owned businesses while ensuring effective healthcare solutions.
