About this file
This is a Special Notice announcing the Department of Veterans Affairs' intent to sole source a contract for annual preventative maintenance services on Tecniplast Rack Washer and Bottle Filler equipment. The contracting office is Network Contracting Office 1 (NCO 1) located in Augusta, Maine (zip code 04330), with Contracting Officer Emily Hatcher serving as the point of contact.
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate exclusively with Tecniplast USA Inc. (PO Box 1209, West Chester, PA 19380; UEI QHF3J4MS24H4) to provide annual preventative maintenance services for equipment used in the Veterinary Medical Unit on floor 1 of the Freedom building (Building 44). The rationale for sole sourcing is based on the proprietary nature of Tecniplast's system coding and programming; Tecniplast is the sole manufacturer authorized to provide upgrades, service, and maintenance, does not sell to third-party vendors, and does not permit third-party service providers to maintain their systems. The Government asserts that no other company possesses the requisite knowledge to maintain and validate the system. The sole source authority is FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source). The NAICS code is 339112 and the Product Service Code is 6640. Interested parties must submit responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government by 10:00 AM EST on July 10, 2026, via email to Emily.Hatcher@va.gov. This notice is not a solicitation and no SAM.gov posting will occur.

Special Notice
DESCRIPTION
Notice of Intent to Sole Source Requirement
This Notice of Intent to Sole Source is not a solicitation. This is not a request for quotes. The Department of Veteran Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract with: Tecniplast USA Inc. PO BOX 1209 West Chester, PA 19380 (UEI QHF3J4MS24H4).
The Department of Veteran Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Tecniplast USA Inc., to schedule annual PM Service for the Tecniplast Rack Washer and Bottle Filler for the use in our Veterinary Medical unit (VMU) on floor 1 of the Freedom building (Building 44). The preventative maintenance will be performed by Tecniplast service engineers. Tecniplast service engineers are trained and certified to perform preventative maintenance on the Tecniplast equipment. Tecniplast is the only manufacturer authorized to provide upgrades, service, and maintenance on their systems. Tecniplast does not sell to third party vendors, nor do they allow third party vendors to add components to their system, nor provide any service or maintenance on their systems. This is done because of the proprietary nature of their coding and programming. Due to the proprietary nature of the system software, it is the Governments belief that no other company possesses the knowledge necessary to maintain and validate the system. Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. It is not a solicitation or request for offers and no solicitation will be posted to Contracting Opportunities on SAM.gov.
The authority for this action is FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible source, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The NAICS is 339112. The PSC/FSC is 6640.
Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must be received NLT 10:00 AM EST on 07/10/2026. No telephonic inquiries will be accepted. All responses must be emailed to Emily Hatcher, Contracting Officer, Emily.Hatcher@va.gov.
