The Department of Veteran Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 6, intends to negotiate a new sole source, firm-fixed price contract with Roche Diagnostics for the Fayetteville Coastal Healthcare Center with Roche Diagnostics (large business) for the maintenance of the Roche Liat PCR Point of Care Analyzers with 41 U.S.C. §3304(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source.

This is not a request for competitive offers, and no solicitation is available. Market research has determined that these items are highly specialized, are only available from a single source without an unacceptable delay or duplication of cost and no other type of items will satisfy agency requirements. The Government intends to award the contract with an effective date of 07 May 2026 to Roche Diagnostics, 9115 Hague Road, Indianapolis, IN 46256-1025; Unique Entity ID: JDMDFEZBYH36.

Roche is the original equipment manufacturer of Roche Liat Consumables and the sole provider for maintenance of their products. It is the Government’s belief that the proposed candidate (Roche) has no authorized distributors, and they are the sole manufacturer that can service and/or maintain their products. It is the Government’s belief that the proposed candidate is the sole provider of the system and its related maintenance on the systems.

This intent to sole source is being issued for information purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or request for competitive proposals. If a firm believes it is capable of meeting the Government's requirement, it may identify its interest and capability to the contract specialist within three (3) business days of this publication by contacting Ricky Farr via e-mail at Ricky.Farr@va.gov. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted. This announcement closes on 27 March 2026 at 8:00 AM EST.

Those interested firms must indicate whether they are large, small, small-disadvantaged, 8(a) or woman owned business and whether they are U.S. or foreign owned.
