Q702--American Lake / Puget Sound, Phase 2, Bldg 201 Initial Outfitting, Transitioning and Activation Services (IOT&A)

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a Market Research and Acquisition Planning Report (Attachment 2, VHA Part 810.001) to support a new or modified requirement for supplies and/or services. The report must detail the estimated total value (including any options), quantity, delivery schedule, and NAICS code, and identify whether the acquisition is suitable for performance‑based services contracting. It must also document any statutory authority permitting other‑than‑full‑and‑open competition, address the Nonmanufacturer Rule, and specify the contract type (e.g., firm‑fixed‑price, time‑and‑materials). A single J‑A cannot be used to support more than one contract, regardless of quantity or dollar value. The market‑research portion must capture all efforts to solicit offers from the broadest practicable source pool, including any Sources‑Sought notice (date, number, response screening) and justification for limited sources under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1). The report must identify potential vendors (large, small‑business, SDVOSB, VOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), etc.), describe product/service characteristics, past performance, and business size, and note any sole‑source justification. It also requires analysis of commercial marketplace practices (payment terms, warranties, freight, financing) and a clear plan for small‑business set‑aside decisions. All findings must be signed by the appropriate program official, contracting officer, and COR, with the acquisition ID and supporting documentation attached.
