The NAICS code is 333922; Small Business Size Standard is 500 Employees; the PSC is 3990. The VA intends to award a sole source contract to NGA3 Services LLC (UEI NH9LYLJCNE58) of Zion Grove, Pennsylvania 17985. NGA3 Services is a verified SDVOSB. The total award amount is $494,500.00. In accordance with VAAR 819.7008, the determination to make a sole source award to an SDVOSB is a business decision wholly within the discretion of the Contracting officer; therefore, the requirement to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable is not applicable to this procurement. In addition, 819.7008(c) further authorizes the Contracting officer to make the award without first determining that only one SDVOSB source can meet the requirement. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C.§ 253(c)(5) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-5 entitled, Authorized or required by statute . The applicable statute is Public Law 109-461: Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 specifically, the Veterans First Contracting Program outlined in 38 USC § 8127(c).
