Acquisition Plan Action ID:

36C262-25-AP-0979 1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 22, Network Contracting Office 22 (NCO22) in Long Beach, CA, seeks to sole source Furniture Pods for ABH Facility listed in purchase request 691-25-1-5220-0011 at/for GLAVAHCS, Los Angeles, California. 2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: GLAVAHCS has a requirement to purchase Furniture Pods for ABH Facility to provide emergency housing for unhoused veterans.

Vendor will deploy installation services and ship components to complete the furniture pods on hand immediately. The furniture pods will support the implementation of 34 additional emergency beds. 3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Concourse Federal Group, LLC is the only vendor capable of rapidly implementing the furniture pod configurations that meet the requirements for the ABH project.

There is an unusual and compelling need to serve unhoused Veterans with complex medical and psychiatric needs who have few resources and require long-term case management to either obtain and/or maintain permanent supportive housing. The additional time required to compete this requirement will adversely impact service to unhoused Veterans in immediate need. Concourse Federal Group can provide additional products that are consistent with the existing furniture in ABH.

This allows GLAVAHCS to use the existing furniture without replacing the entire supply. Due to urgency, time constraints, and emergent need to house unhoused Veterans, circumstances of contract action deem only one source is reasonable available, and no other supplies or services will meet agency need. Purchase is IAW FAR Part 13.106-1(b) and VAAR 819.7008.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Due to urgency, time constraints (to provide emergency housing to unhoused Veterans in the A Bridge Home (ABH) facility), and need for unique custom furniture that matches the existing configuration of the dormitories, Concourse Federal Group, LLC is the only available source given VHAPG Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures:
