About this file
This document is a Sole Source Notice for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office, intended to procure a birthing simulator for the York VAMC Women's Wellness Department. The VA plans to solely source the procurement from AVKIN Inc. located in Newport, DE, due to the company's proprietary training simulators, modules, and instructional guidance that are not available from other vendors. The sole source justification is based on AVKIN's unique product offerings, with a warning that warranties will be voided if unauthorized third-party vendors are engaged.
The solicitation (36C24925Q0215) is classified under NAICS code 339113 with a size standard of 800 employees, and interested parties may submit capabilities and interest by 12:00 PM CST on April 27, 2025, to Lathelma.collins@va.gov. While this is not a competitive quote request, respondents can submit evidence of potential competitive advantages. The VA reserves the right to evaluate responses and determine whether to proceed with the sole source procurement, with the final decision remaining at the government's discretion. The procurement will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b) for soliciting from a single source.
