    The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a single source award for preventative maintenance services on three Caterpillar Emergency Power Generator Sets at the Lexington VA Medical Center's Troy Bowling campus. The contract, valued at approximately $123,300, will be awarded to Boyd Company based on a sole authorized dealer letter from Caterpillar Inc., the original equipment manufacturer. The service period includes a base year from December 22, 2024, to December 21, 2025, and four optional extension years, totaling a financial commitment of $123,000. The justification for sole sourcing stems from the unique nature of the service needed, as the original equipment manufacturer has stated that only Boyd Company is qualified to provide competent support within the designated service territory. Despite market research indicating a potential pool of vendors, none is authorized by Caterpillar Inc. to deliver the required services. Therefore, the contracting officer has certified this justification under FAR 13.106-1(b) to ensure compliance with federal regulations, confirming the accuracy and completeness of the process required for this acquisition.
