The Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Medical Center, Asheville, NC, intends to procure on a sole source basis with Frontier Building Systems, Inc., 213 Alapaha Hwy, Ocilla, GA 31774, a follow on contract for lease of a 3,192 square foot modular building located on the premises of the Asheville VA Medical Center. The resulting contract will be a one (1) year lease. It is considered to be in the best interest of the Government to continue the lease of the existing building.
