    Description

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to sole source the procurement of a Containerized Fold Out Rigid Shelter (C-FORT) unit to replace one that was destroyed in an accident. The VA plans to order a C-FORT 96 unit with a mobilizer from the original equipment manufacturer, Elite Aluminum, at an estimated cost of $498,995, to ensure uniformity in use, training, and operational familiarity among over 100 personnel currently trained on the existing units. The C-FORTs are critical for the Veterans Health Administration's Office of Emergency Management in responding to emergencies and supporting veteran care, and introducing a new system would incur significant retraining and adaptation costs exceeding $3 million. Interested parties may contact Contracting Officer Robert O'Keefe Jr. at robert.okeefejr@va.gov, with a response deadline set for December 11, 2025.
