About this file
This is a Special Notice presolicitation document for a noncompetitive sole-source acquisition of medical imaging equipment. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Strategic Acquisition Center, located in Frederick, Maryland, intends to award a contract under 41 U.S.C. 1901 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) for EXALT Model D Duodenoscope Image Controllers manufactured by Boston Scientific. The required item is the Boston Scientific EXALT Controller (Part Number M00542430), identified as Contract Line Item 0001. The response deadline is April 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The contracting officer is Anthony Zibolski (anthony.zibolski@va.gov, 240-215-0598), and the Product Service Code is 6515 (Medical Instruments and Supplies).
The acquisition is being pursued as a sole-source procurement because the EXALT Model D Image Controller is proprietary equipment manufactured exclusively by Boston Scientific with closed hardware interfaces, firmware, illumination controls, and image-processing protocols that are not disclosed or licensed for third-party production. No alternative controllers or third-party video processors are interoperable with the Government-owned EXALT Model D duodenoscope systems currently in use. Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions (VHSS) (UEI: TLTXKMLQEYU9) is identified as the only authorized distributor and sole source capable of meeting the Government's requirement. The acquisition is subject to World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements. Although this is a noncompetitive award, all responsible sources may submit capability statements for agency consideration, and there are no qualification requirements associated with the procurement.
