3. Intended Source

The Government intends to award a sole source contract to:

Point Breeze Communications, Inc.
1417 State Route 118
Sweet Valley, PA 18656
UEI: GESVV5UW2BX5
CAGE: 57J60
Socioeconomic Status: SBA‑certified Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), certification valid through 3 August 2027.

4. Statutory and Regulatory Authority

The proposed action is authorized by and will be conducted under the Veterans First Contracting Program, 38 U.S.C. 8127(c), as implemented by VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 819.7008, Sole source awards to a certified service‑disabled veteran‑owned small business. This statutory authority is implemented under FAR 6.302‑5, Authorized or Required by Statute.

In accordance with VAAR 819.7008(a)(1), the total estimated value of this SDVOSB sole source award does not exceed $5,000,000.00. In accordance with VAAR 819.7008(c), a determination that only one SDVOSB can meet the requirement (VA “Rule of Two”) is not required for this sole source action.

5. Rationale for Sole Source

Market research conducted on 22 April 2026 in accordance with FAR Part 10 and VAAR Part 810 supports the use of SDVOSB sole source procedures for this requirement. Key findings include:

• Point Breeze Communications, Inc. is an SBA‑certified SDVOSB in good standing with an active SAM registration and no exclusions, and meets the eligibility criteria in VAAR 819.7003.
• Point Breeze has provided A.V. and Media Support Services at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center under three consecutive definitive contracts dating back to 2018, with continuous satisfactory performance and over 1.75 million in total obligations.
• The contractor possesses specialized facility‑specific knowledge of the medical center’s A.V., VTC, IP/CCTV, and digital signage infrastructure and maintains current manufacturer certifications (e.g., Crestron, Cisco, Eaton/APC, Axis Communications) directly applicable to the systems in use.
• A review of comparable VA SDVOSB awards under NAICS 512110 identified annual A.V. support contract values ranging from approximately $126,706.00 to $414,000.00. The proposed base‑year value of $262,000.00 and total estimated value of $788,000.00 fall within this market range and represent a modest escalation from prior contract rates at this facility consistent with current labor market conditions.

Based on the totality of this market research, the Contracting Officer has determined that award to Point Breeze Communications, Inc. on a sole source basis under 38 U.S.C. 8127(c) and VAAR 819.7008 is in the best interest of the Government and will ensure continuity of critical A.V. and media support services without disruption to VA healthcare operations.
