J--Notice of intent to make sole source award to Edstrom Industries, Inc for preventative maintenance and repairs on an Edstrom automatic animal watering system.

Notice of intent to award sole source The VISN 9 Network Contracting Activity (NCA) intends to make a sole source award to Edstrom Industries, Inc. for a base year plus three (3) option years for the purchase of a basic service plan to perform preventative maintenance and repairs on an existing Edstrom automatic animal watering system. This system is currently operating at the Memphis VA Medical Center. Market research has indicated that no other companies offer service on Edstrom systems due to the proprietary components and warranty considerations that require Edstrom certified technicians to perform maintenance and repairs. The anticipated magnitude is between $25,000.00 and $100,00.00.
