About this file

This Special Notice is for a sole-source contract issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Caribbean Healthcare System's Network Contracting Office 8 for maintenance services of an UltraSafe Formalin Dispensing System. The contract will be awarded to Milestone Medical Technologies, Inc. (the Original Equipment Manufacturer), and will consist of a base one-year period with four additional one-year option periods. The procurement is justified due to the specialized nature of the equipment, where improper maintenance could potentially cause patient misdiagnosis or harm, and because the OEM possesses exclusive rights to replacement/upgrade licenses, qualified personnel, maintenance publications, and proprietary diagnostic software.

Key details include the solicitation number 36C24826Q0169, NAICS code 811210, Product Service Code J059, and a size standard of $34.0M. The response deadline is 12-22-2025 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, with responses to be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Elder Vazquez at elder.vazquezmelendez@va.gov. The notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive proposal request, and any responses must provide clear evidence that competition would benefit the government.
