The current system ensures complete compatibility, minimizes maintenance, and guarantees staff familiarity, preventing the need for two separate HVAC control systems on the campus. Market research confirmed that other systems are not compatible and would incur additional maintenance expenses. The contracting officer has certified this purchase in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).

This system is essential for renovating the Audiology Clinic and will integrate seamlessly with the existing campus-wide fire alarm system at the Milwaukee facility. The estimated cost is $18,085. The justification highlights that the Cerberus Pyrotronics System is the only product that allows for a single, unified fire alarm system, ensuring patient safety and minimizing maintenance costs by matching existing components. Market research did not identify any other system offering seamless integration. The purchase is approved in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).

This document is a Justification for Single Source Award for the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically for the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, WI. The purpose is to acquire a Jeron Health Care Call System Provider 790 Nurse Call System for $29,000.00. This single-source acquisition is justified because the Jeron system is the only product compatible with the existing Nurse Call system's backbone and head-end equipment in Building 111. Expanding with a different vendor would be extremely cost-prohibitive due to the need for new incompatible components, and it would compromise patient safety by disrupting seamless communication. The existing system cannot be expanded by other manufacturers, and no other system offers seamless integration. The contracting officer approved the purchase in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).
