About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for secondary water treatment services at the Baltimore VA Medical Center (VAMC). The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VISN 5) is issuing solicitation 36C24526Q0755 with a response deadline of August 11, 2026 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. The contracting office is located at the VA Maryland Healthcare facility in Baltimore, MD 21201, with Contracting Officer William Chris Galletta (william.galletta@va.gov) serving as the primary point of contact. The solicitation relates to product service code F103 and NAICS code 221310, with the contract archived 60 days after the response date.
Barclay Water Management, Inc., headquartered in Newton, MA, is the sole source contractor for the iChlor secondary water treatment system. Barclay justifies the sole source approach based on four key factors: the iChlor system requires continuous remote monitoring and state-licensed operator services exclusively provided by Barclay; Barclay's name is listed on the EPA-reporting disinfection equipment; the iChlor system is proprietary to Barclay; and Barclay provides a complete turn-key solution including operation, maintenance, and regulatory compliance, with all work performed by direct-hire Barclay employees. Barclay does not allow control or access to the iChlor units to outside vendors or distributors, citing safety and quality assurance concerns tied to their company reputation and system performance. For additional information, prospective vendors may contact Mike Brown, Senior Area Manager, at (540) 809-4966 or mike.brown@barclaywater.com.

In the interests of your Facility and its patients, Barclay Water Management maintains control of our iChlor® systems and does not offer them through distribution or secondary vendors. The following are the main reason that we maintain control of our iChlor® systems:
1. iChlor® Systems require continuous remote monitoring and a State licensed operator that is provided by Barclay Water Management.
2. Barclay’s name is listed on the equipment providing the disinfectant to the Facility, which then reports to the EPA.
3. iChlor® is a propriety system to Barclay Water Management. All work is performed by direct-hire Barclay Water Management employees, including manufacturers of iChlor®.
4. Barclay is responsible for the operation, maintenance, permit compliance of the unit, making it a complete turn-key solution.
For the reasons stated above we do not give control access of the iChlor® unit to anyone outside of Barclay. Please know we take safety very seriously, as our name and reputation are tied to the unit’s performance.
If you require additional information or assistance, please feel free to contact me at (540) 809-4966 or via email at mike.brown@barclaywater.com.
Respectfully, Mike Brown Senior Area Manager Page 1 of image1.png image2.jpeg
