About this file
This is a Special Notice announcing the Department of Veterans Affairs' intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Auris Health, Inc. (Johnson & Johnson MedTech) for a MONARCH QUEST Robotic Bronchoscopy System Upgrade. The Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina seeks to upgrade its existing Government-owned MONARCH robotic bronchoscopy system with the proprietary MONARCH Advanced Imaging Accessory Kit, Field Upgrade Kit, MONARCH QUEST software upgrade, installation, configuration, testing, validation, and all associated labor. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) and PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).
The sole-source justification is based on Auris Health, Inc.'s status as the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the MONARCH QUEST Upgrade (Product Code MON-AIU) with no third-party distributors. The Government contends that only this source can provide full compatibility with the existing system. Interested parties must submit capability statements by July 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time to Jessica Cummings, the VA's Contracting Officer, at Jessica.Cummings3@va.gov. The contracting office is located in Atlanta, Georgia (ZIP 30329), and responses will be archived 15 days after the deadline. This notice is not a Request for Quotations but serves to identify alternative responsible sources capable of meeting the requirements.

DESCRIPTION
Title: Intent to Sole Source – MONARCH™ QUEST Robotic Bronchoscopy System Upgrade Department of Veterans Affairs Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center 109 Bee Street Charleston, SC 29401 NAICS: 334510 – Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing PSC: 6515 – Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies Description The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Auris Health, Inc. (Johnson & Johnson MedTech) for the procurement of the MONARCH™ QUEST Robotic Bronchoscopy System Upgrade for the Government-owned MONARCH Robotic Bronchoscopy System.
The requirement includes the proprietary MONARCH Advanced Imaging Accessory Kit, Field Upgrade Kit, MONARCH QUEST software upgrade, installation, configuration, testing, validation, and all associated labor necessary to upgrade the existing Government-owned system.
The proposed contract action is conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), Soliciting from a Single Source, because the Government has determined that only one responsible source is reasonably available to satisfy the agency’s requirements.
Auris Health, Inc. has certified that it is the sole manufacturer and sole distributor of the MONARCH™ QUEST Upgrade (Product Code MON-AIU) and does not utilize third-party distributors. Because the upgrade is proprietary and must be fully compatible with the existing Government-owned MONARCH robotic bronchoscopy system, no other source is capable of meeting the Government’s minimum requirements.
This notice is not a Request for Quotations (RFQ). It is issued solely to determine whether other responsible sources can provide the required proprietary upgrade.
Interested parties believing they can satisfy this requirement shall submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to provide the required proprietary MONARCH QUEST Upgrade while maintaining full compatibility with the existing Government-owned system, including manufacturer authorization, warranty support, installation, and technical support.
Responses must be received no later than July 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.
Responses shall be submitted electronically to:
Jessica Cummings Contracting Officer Department of Veterans Affairs Email: Jessica.Cummings3@va.gov The Government will consider all responses received by the due date. A determination not to compete this proposed acquisition based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government.
