The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network/Program Contracting Office 22, is seeking to acquire Helmer freezers and refrigerators for the VA San Diego Healthcare System. This single-source justification, under simplified acquisition procedures, is for an estimated amount above the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding $250,000. The acquisition ID is 36C262-25-AP-4664. The VA San Diego Healthcare System requires Helmer brand units to standardize equipment within the pharmacy, aligning with an existing service contract for preventative maintenance with Helmer Scientific LLC, which expires on September 30, 2029. This standardization prevents duplicative costs associated with servicing multiple brands. Market research identified at least two service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses that partner with Helmer to provide the requested items, and a prior canceled solicitation also received responses for Helmer Scientific products from SDVOSB vendors. The contracting officer has certified the purchase in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).
