Intent to Sole Source to a Small Business for the Carl Zeiss Pentero 800 The Otolaryngology section at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital has conducted comprehensive research comparing several other brands of surgical microscopes. After thorough evaluation, it has been determined that the Carl Zeiss Pentero 800 offers superior features that will significantly enhance our ability to provide the best healthcare to our veterans.

If vendors believe they have an item that meets all the needs of this requirement, they are invited to submit their information via email to Marcus.Lewis2@va.gov. Please note that the decision not to engage in competitive procurement rests solely with the Government. Any responses to this notice should present clear and convincing evidence that competition would be beneficial to the Government.
Additionally, responsible sources are invited to submit a capabilities statement demonstrating, by a preponderance of the evidence, that another contractor can fulfill a service contract for the requested items at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital. Please note that no telephone inquiries or emails seeking clarification will be entertained.
All responses should be directed via email to Marcus.Lewis2@va.gov.
