About this file
This is a Special Notice for a sole source procurement issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10). The VA Healthcare System, Network Contracting Office 10, located in Kettering, Ohio, intends to negotiate a sole source contract under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for laser etching equipment. The solicitation seeks two items from Censis Technologies, Inc.: a CensiMark Laser Unit Training & Configuration (Part # CT0205) and a CensiMark Laser Unit Bundle (Part # CT0206), each with a quantity of one. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed price basis with no option years. The Government justifies the sole source procurement because the CensiMark Laser Etcher is the only laser etcher verified by the RMD tracking system manufacturer (Censi Technologies, Inc.) as compatible with the current NIHCS Censitrac tracking system; while other RMD laser marking devices exist on the market, they are not universally compatible with all RMD tracking systems.
Responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government must be submitted by April 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time to laura.poma@va.gov and kellie.konopinski@va.gov. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or a formal solicitation, and no solicitation package is available. The point of contact is Contracting Specialist Laura Poma at 734-845-3523. The Product Service Code is 6515, and the NAICS Code is 513210. The solicitation will be archived 90 days after the response date.

It is the Government's intention to solicit and negotiate with only this source. The vendor will be Censis Technologies, Inc. 4031 Aspen Grove Drive Suite 350 Drive Franklin, TN 37064-7217
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. It is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available.

Responses must be received no later than 04/22/2026 3PM, Eastern Standard Time (EST) at laura.poma@va.gov and kellie.konopinski@va.gov.
Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: There are several RMD laser marking devices on the market. However, RMD laser etchers are not universally compatible with all RMD tracking systems. Compatibility must be verified with the RMD tracking systems manufacturer. The CensiMark Laser Etcher is verified by the RMD tracking system manufacturer, Censi Technologies, Inc., as being the only etcher that is compatible with the current NIHCS Censitrac tracking system.
