The justification request complies with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1, and the approval has been certified by the Contracting Officer, Robert Clark. This submission emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the medical equipment aligns with both operational needs and regulatory standards for the healthcare services provided to veterans.
