Purchase Order 36C25026P0289

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10) awarded a $82,800 firm fixed-price purchase order to Satisloh North America Inc. on January 21, 2026, for the procurement of an Ultra Optics Coating Machine with associated service and support. The contract represents a sole-source award with an ultimate completion date of May 16, 2026, and will be performed at Satisloh's facility in Germantown, Wisconsin. The procurement was issued as a Special Notice on January 2, 2026, and responds to VISN 10's need to replace aging optical coating equipment at the Indianapolis VA Optical Lab supporting the Prosthetics Services division. The specified equipment includes an enhanced 01-053-890 UO-MR3 Coating Unit capable of automatically cleaning, coating, and curing lenses in continuous cycles, processing three lenses concurrently at 80 lenses per hour, and equipped with color touchscreen interfaces and integrated HEPA filter systems.

Satisloh North America Inc., a subsidiary of Essilor of America Inc. and a registered small business in SAM.gov since June 2001, was determined as the sole responsible source due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and the requirement for seamless integration with existing optical lab inventory. The company has established a substantial federal contracting presence across the VA, Department of Defense, and Bureau of Prisons, with multiple indefinite delivery contracts supporting optical lab consumables, fabrication equipment, maintenance services, and training. This purchase order award builds upon Satisloh's existing single-award indefinite delivery contract with VISN 10 for optical lab consumables valued at approximately $3.5 million, reinforcing the company's strategic role in supporting the VA's optical manufacturing infrastructure and vision care delivery capabilities.
