About this file

This is a Special Notice announcing the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Great Lakes Acquisition Center's intent to negotiate a sole-source contract with B2H Consulting Group LLC for an ACIST CVi Standard Contrast Dye Injector system at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago. The procurement is for an end-of-life cycle replacement of existing equipment at the facility.

B2H Consulting Group LLC is identified as the only authorized vendor to sell ACIST products to the VA. The notice justifies the sole-source by explaining that the ACIST system is the only injector compatible for coronary angiograms at the facility, features specific FFR component microcatheter technology for chronic total occlusion cases, and uses disposable parts already under contract. The procurement will be a firm-fixed-price contract under NAICS code 339112 (1,000-employee size standard). Interested parties must submit capability statements by January 16, 2024, at 10:00 AM Central Time to Contract Specialist John Roskowski, though the government reserves the right to proceed with the sole-source award regardless of responses received.

EMAIL DESCRIPTION

Under Statutory Authority 41 U.S.C. 1901 the Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with B2H Consulting Group LLC for ACIST CVi Standard Contrast Dye Injector. B2H Consulting Group LLC is the only vendor authorized to sell ACIST products to the Department of Veterans Affairs per the exclusive authorized distributor agreement between the two companies. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. The ACIST CVi contrast dye injector is already in use and staff is trained in its operation. This request is for end of life cycle replacement. No other contrast injectors are compatible to shoot coronary angiograms in the facility. Other contrast injectors are available for left ventricle injections and CT scans. The ACIST is the only injector that shoots coronary angiograms, which is a totally different procedure. Additionally, the FFR component uses a microcatheter technology that has specific use in chronic total occlusion cases in the lab. The Acist uses disposable parts that the facility already has on contract and meets infection control guidelines.

This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 Simplified acquisition procedures as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This will be a firm fixed price contract. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 339112 with a business size standard of 1,000 employees.

No solicitation documents are available and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, any firm that believes it can meet these requirements may give written notification to the Contracting Officer by 10:00 AM (Central) January 16, 2024. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirements. Information must be sent to the Contract Specialist, John Roskowski, peter.roskowski@va.gov. Responses received will be evaluated however; a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
