About this file
This is a Special Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract for research equipment. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Boise VA Medical Center, intends to negotiate exclusively with Steris for the purchase of a Steris Autoclave Unit with AMSCO 600LS Medium Steam Sterilizer, citing the equipment's integrated steam generator as the salient characteristic that distinguishes it from competing alternatives. The primary justification for the sole source award is the autoclave's compatibility with existing caging systems and its chamber dimensions, which allow simultaneous sterilization of up to four cages, thereby improving workflow efficiency. The equipment features an integrated steam generator that provides independent steam supply, eliminating reliance on building infrastructure and ensuring consistent sterilization cycles with reduced downtime.
The solicitation number is 36C24E26Q0086, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026, at 7:00 AM Eastern Time. This is not a competitive solicitation; however, any responsible source capable of providing the exact equipment specifications may submit interest or capability statements to Stacy Taylor at Stacy.Taylor@va.gov by the deadline. No telephone responses will be accepted. The contracting office is the Veterans Health Administration Regional Procurement Office East in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (ZIP 15215-1802), and the product service code is 6515 with NAICS code 334516. The Government reserves the right to determine whether to compete the requirement based on responses received to this notice.

DESCRIPTION
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Boise VA Medical Center, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, with Steris for the Steris Autoclave Unit with AMSCO 600LS Medium Steam Sterilizer. The STERIS unit possesses the salient characteristic of an integrated steam generator which the others do not. The foremost reason for this recommendation is the autoclave’s compatibility with our existing caging systems. The chamber dimensions of the STERIS unit are ideal, allowing us to autoclave up to four cages simultaneously. This significantly improves our workflow efficiency compared to alternative options. The STERIS autoclave comes equipped with its own integrated steam generator, ensuring reliable and sufficient steam supply independent of building infrastructure. This is a critical feature for maintaining consistent sterilization cycles and reducing potential downtime.
