Govsmart, Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone small business headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, was awarded a $150,000 purchase order by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 on August 21, 2025, for the procurement of a 3D printer system. The contract, which operates under a firm fixed-price structure with an ultimate completion date of September 20, 2025, will support the Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center's 3D Printing Lab. The award stemmed from a Total Small Business set-aside solicitation issued on August 7, 2025, seeking Stratasys J5 MediJet 3D printers with ultra-realism startup packages, healthcare material cabinets, and associated installation and training services.
The procurement was structured as a sole-source acquisition justified by the proprietary nature of Stratasys J5 MediJet systems, which operate exclusively with manufacturer-specific software, resins, and post-processing protocols compatible with the VA facility's existing J5 and J850 series infrastructure. The 3D printing equipment will enable the Cleveland VAMC to produce hyperrealistic anatomical models, biocompatible medical parts, and digital dentistry tools to support patient-specific surgical planning and clinical education. Govsmart, which maintains strategic contract vehicles including Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement V (SEWP V) and Chief Information Officer Commodities and Solutions (CIO-CS) government-wide acquisition contracts, brings extensive experience in federal IT procurement and hardware solutions across multiple civilian and Defense agencies.
