    The document outlines a justification for a single-source procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for electrical maintenance services at the Lt. Col. Luke Weathers Jr. VAMC in Murfreesboro, TN. The plan indicates that the services required include tri-annual maintenance of approximately 100 circuit breakers and 300 transformers, with an estimated amount exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000. The justification highlights that the selected contractor, JJ & J Facility Maintenance, LLC, is uniquely qualified to perform these services as no other vendors in the Memphis area can provide the needed capabilities. Market research through the Small Business Administration's VetCert yielded 310 results from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs), but none were local or suitable for the maintenance task. The contracting officer certifies the accuracy of the justification, confirming compliance with FAR 13.106-1(b) and stating that a price reasonableness determination is required prior to award. This document demonstrates a typical procedural approach for governmental procurement when limited to single-source vendors due to specific service needs and local availability constraints.
