About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source from the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 1, Regional Procurement Office East. The VA intends to award a non-competitive, sole source procurement to Model 1 Commercial Vehicles, Inc. (UEI: GFE1VN1UH2W4) for the acquisition of one (1) 2025 Champion Challenger 25' Custom ADA-Compliant Shuttle Bus for the VA Maine Healthcare System in Togus. The solicitation number is 36C24126Q0706, with a response deadline of October 2, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The contracting office is located at 1950 Campbell Avenue, West Haven, Connecticut 06516, with Divianna Mathurin serving as the point of contact.
The procurement is justified as non-competitive because Model 1 is identified as the only responsible source capable of providing the exact manufacturer-specified configuration required to meet Togus VA's precise clinical, accessibility, structural, therapeutic, and warranty requirements. Market research confirms that no other vendor, nationally or regionally surveyed, can supply a bus meeting these specifications. The shuttle bus purchase is funded exclusively through donor-restricted General Post Fund 8013 (Northern Trust), and under VHA Directive 4721, all expenditures must strictly fulfill donor intent by providing a vehicle that enhances Veteran comfort, safety, accessibility, and mobility within Togus residential programs. This notice will be archived 30 days after the response date.
