About this file
This is a Special Notice documenting the Department of Veterans Affairs' Notice of Intent to Sole Source a procurement for OEM replacement parts. The VA Network Contracting Office 10 intends to procure Siemens YSIO Max X-ray system components, specifically the Collimator AL02 II assembly, for the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center's Imaging/Radiology Service in Indianapolis, Indiana. The existing X-ray unit is currently inoperable due to collimator failure, and restoration of this equipment is critical to resuming radiographic imaging operations and preventing delays in patient care. The replacement components are maintenance parts only and do not upgrade the original equipment. Market research determined that Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is the sole source manufacturer and supplier; no authorized distributors, resellers, or small business alternatives exist. Comprehensive searches through the SBA, GSA, and National Acquisition Center yielded no viable competitive sources, making the VA Rule of Two and SBA Rule of Two unachievable.
The solicitation is issued under FAR Part 12 (FAR 12.102 Restricting Competition) with Solicitation Number 36C25027Q0015, assigned NAICS code 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing), and Product Service Code 6525. A firm-fixed-price purchase order is anticipated. Responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government must be submitted by October 7, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time to Contract Specialist Ghazal Jones (ghazal.Jones@va.gov, 734-845-5372) or Contracting Officer Kellie Konopinski (Kellie.Konopinski@va.gov) at the Network Contracting Office, 10 24 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive, Suite M2200, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105-9484. The notice will be archived 99 days after the response date.

DESCRIPTION
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 procurement under FAR Part 12, specifically FAR 12.102 Restricting Competition.
LOCATION:
Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center (RLR VAMC) – Imaging/Radiology Service 1481 West 10th Street Indianapolis, IN 46202-2830 The VA Medical Center requires the procurement of OEM replacement parts for the Siemens YSIO Max X‑ray system, specifically the Collimator AL02 II components. The existing X‑ray unit is currently inoperable due to failure of the collimator assembly, and these replacement parts are required to restore the system to full operational functionality. Only OEM‑manufactured Siemens Collimator AL02 II components are compatible with the currently installed YSIO Max system.
These parts are essential to ensuring the continued performance, safety, and reliability of radiographic imaging operations. Without a functioning collimator, X‑ray procedures cannot be performed, resulting in delays in patient imaging services and potential impacts on clinical care. The replacement components do not alter or upgrade the original equipment; they are required strictly to maintain and restore the existing VA‑owned system.
Market research determined that Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., is the sole source manufacturer and supplier of the Collimator AL02 II replacement parts. Siemens confirmed there are no authorized distributors, resellers, or small business suppliers capable of providing these components. Searches conducted through SBA, GSA, and the National Acquisition Center yielded no viable alternative sources. Therefore, the VA Rule of Two and SBA Rule of Two cannot be met.
The associated NAICS code for this procurement is 334517 – Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing.
The intended vendor is Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.
A firm‑fixed‑price purchase order is anticipated. It is the Government’s determination that only the proposed source possesses the required capability and OEM authority to meet this requirement. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate solely with this source.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, quotations, or 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 October 7th, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.
