FAR 6.302-5(a)(2)(i) is also applicable and provides that, (2) Full and open competition need not be provided for when (i) A statute expressly authorizes or requires that the acquisition be made through another agency or from a specified source 1.Identification of Agency and Contracting Agency Contracting Office U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Fargo, North Dakota. 2.Nature and/or Description of Action Approval is requested to use other than full and open competition for a construction project in support of the Fargo VAMC.

This document is formatted in accordance with the guidelines provided under FAR 6.302-1 for sole source procurement. The Fargo VA Contracting Office is proposing a sole source to a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business, Dakota Latitudes LLC of Fargo, ND.

As delineated in the VAAR 819.7007 and pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(c), contracting officers may use other than competitive procedures (including sole source awards) for contracts to SDVOSBs and [Veteran-Owned Small Businesses] VOSBs where the anticipated award price will exceed the Simplified Acquisition Procedures threshold but not to exceed $5,000,000. Each related award must be made to a responsible SDVOSB or VOSB at a fair and reasonable price as determined by the contracting officer.
