The Department of Veterans Affairs, on behalf of the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System, is issuing a single-source award for the replacement of approximately 360 feet of 3-inch Schedule 80 welded feedwater piping. This piping connects the Deaerator (DA) Tank to the boiler system, and its replacement is necessary due to corrosion, leakage, and inefficiency. The sole source for this requirement is CSIC Solutions, the vendor currently under contract for the DA Tank's rental agreement and operational responsibility. CSIC Solutions is deemed the only entity with the authority, access, and familiarity to perform the replacement without compromising system integrity or violating existing contract terms.
