508-24-115 | Upgrade Electrical Transformer Bldg. 135 (VA-24-00064485)

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 7, on behalf of the Atlanta VAMC at 1670 Clairmont Rd., Room GC125, Decatur, GA, 30033, hereby provides notice of its intent to negotiate on a sole source, firm-fixed price contract with no options with Venergy Group, LLC., located at 3130 Seminole Rd., Ft. Pierce, FL 34951. The award will be executed under authority at FAR 6.302-5 and VAAR 819.7008.

The rationale for the sole source acquisition is that Venergy Group, LLC. is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that is capable of completing the electrical services needed to connect the new transformer to Building 135 at the Atlanta VAMC, specifically Fort Macpherson.

This project s requirements are to perform necessary work to electrical service to Fort Macpherson building 135. The primary landowner in the area is changing the electrical feed to their facility and as a result the line and transformer powering building 135 will be decommissioned. The utility provider Georgia Power is providing a utility owned transformer, but in order to meet the requirements for service work must be performed to the secondary (customer side) of the transformer and conductors fed from it.

This acquisition is anticipated to take place on or about 9/15/2024. In addition to the VetCert search results and the knowledge of the market/industry known to the contracting and the requiring activities, the intent to use a sole source SDVOSB in accordance with FAR 6.302-5 and VAAR 806.302-570(a) and (b) is sufficient. This action is in accordance with 38 U.S.C. 8127 and VAAR 819.7008.

This notice satisfies requirements identified in FAR Part 5. The intended procurement will be classified under Product Service Code (PSC) Y1BG and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 238210 with a small business size of $19 million.
