2310--Intent to Sole Source Polaris General 1000

This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract and is not a request for quotes. The Department of Veterans Affairs Finger Lakes Healthcare Facility (Bath Campus) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP), brand name only, sole source action against a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) to; Name of Contractor: MacGyver Solutions, INC. Street Address: 85 Magnolia Avenue City, State, Zip: Pinehurst, NC 28374 The objective of this action is the procurement of a 2022 Polaris General 1000 with accessories. This is a brand name only purchase for the following reasons. Considering the amount of attachments, the station currently possesses that are Polaris General specific such as the Straight and V-Blades, Commercial Snowblowers and Brooms procuring the 2022 Polaris General 1000 makes the most economic sense to prevent the facility from having to buy the same attachments over again that would only pertain to a different manufacturer of a Utility Vehicle. This would make those current attachments obsolete for the facility to use requiring replacements that are very expensive to purchase. For the Bath VAMC to consider other manufacturer's equipment would render the Polaris attachments and parts useless and to replace it with like equipment from another manufacturer would be gross misuse of government funds, not cost effective, and a poor business decision. The Veterans Health Administration prohibits the use of gray market items in their Medical Centers. Gray market items are considered to be items outside of the original equipment manufacturer s intended distribution channels.
