About this file
This is a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source Requirement from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10, for the procurement of V-Sign Sensors. The VA Medical Center at John D. Dingell in Detroit, Michigan requires V-Sign Sensors (Part Number 101342 VS-A/P/N) for use with the existing Sentec Transcutaneous TcCO2 Monitoring System in the Sleep Laboratory. The V-Sign Sensor is a non-invasive patient sensor that continuously measures transcutaneous carbon dioxide and oxygen saturation, essential for diagnosing and managing patients with sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory insufficiency. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source under FAR Part 12.102 because the Sentec V-Sign Sensor is a proprietary component manufactured exclusively by Sentec AG and is fully compatible with the VA's existing equipment, including integration with the Polysmith system and pre-loaded adult modes. No alternative manufacturer produces a compatible or validated sensor, and switching to another system would require complete equipment replacement with associated costs, operational disruption, and potential patient care risks.
The solicitation number is 36C25026Q0242, with a response deadline of January 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST. The anticipated award will be a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Sentec AG, located at 40 Albion Road, Suite 100, Lincoln, Rhode Island 02865. The Product Service Code is 6515, and the NAICS code is 334510. The Point of Contact is Contract Specialist Ghazal Jones (ghazal.Jones@va.gov, 734-845-5372), and the Contracting Officer is Kellie Konopinski (734-222-4330, Kellie.Konopinski@va.gov). This notice is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any interested parties must submit clear and convincing evidence by the deadline demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the Government.

Notice of Intent to Sole Source Requirement
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), VA Healthcare System, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10, intends to negotiate a sole source order under FAR Part 12, specifically FAR 12.102 Restricting competition.
LOCATION: John D. Dingell VA Medical Center – Sleep Laboratory 4646 John R Street Detroit, MI 48201.
The VA Medical Center requires the procurement of V-Sign™ Sensors for use with the Sentec Transcutaneous TcCO₂ Monitoring System currently in operation within the Sleep Lab. The purchase will include the following item:
• V-Sign™ Sensor Part Number: 101342 – VS-A/P/N
The V-Sign Sensor is a non-invasive patient sensor used to continuously measure transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TcCO₂) and oxygen saturation. This monitoring capability is essential for diagnosing and managing patients with sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory insufficiency.
The Sentec V-Sign Sensor is a proprietary component manufactured exclusively for use with the Sentec TcCO₂ monitoring system. The sensor is fully compatible with the VA’s existing equipment, including integration with the Polysmith system, pre-loaded adult modes, and customized display configurations. No other manufacturer produces a sensor that is technically compatible or validated for use with the Sentec TcCO₂ monitor.
Use of an alternative sensor would require replacement of the entire monitoring system, resulting in unnecessary cost, operational disruption, and potential risk to patient care.
The associated NAICS code for this procurement is 334510. The vendor will be Sentec AG, 40 Albion Road, Suite 100, Lincoln, RI 02865.
A firm-fixed-price purchase order is anticipated. It is the Government’s belief that only the proposed source possesses the required capabilities to successfully meet this requirement. It is the Government’s intention to solicit and negotiate with only this source.
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. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must be received no later than 5:00 PM EST on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
