The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $389,971.93 firm-fixed-price purchase order to Satisloh North America Inc., a subsidiary of Essilor Of America, Inc., to replace failing eyeglasses manufacturing equipment at the VA's Optical Fabrication Lab. The replacement equipment includes two ART-Deblockers and one Magna-Spin Coater. This sole-source contract was awarded pursuant to simplified acquisition procedures under 41 U.S.C. 253(c), as Satisloh's automated surfacing, finishing, and coating equipment is proprietary to the company and currently installed at the VA facility. The contract has no set-aside designation. This award is part of Satisloh's broader federal contracting activities, which include Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements with the VA and other agencies like the Department of Defense and Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons to provide optical lab equipment, consumables, maintenance services, and training to support vision care for military personnel, veterans, and other federal beneficiaries.
