    The Department of Veterans Affairs is requesting a single-source award for the acquisition of a Ventrac 4520Y tractor, valued at approximately $250,000, for the Erie VA Medical Center. The justification for selecting Ventrac stems from the unique characteristics of their equipment, specifically its compatibility with existing attachments and superior functionality in snow removal compared to other brands. The current inventory includes various implements that are specifically designed for Ventrac machinery, making a switch impractical and costly. Market research explored options within the GSA and OEM resources but confirmed the necessity of remaining with Ventrac due to its distinct features and performance. The contract will be set aside for small businesses on the open market to ensure competitive bids, though the OEM operates as a large business under NAICS 333112. This acquisition emphasizes the VA's commitment to operational efficiency and maintaining service quality in facilities management.
