About this file
This document is a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract combined with a Justification for Single Source Award. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 16 (NCO16) intends to award a one-time purchase, firm fixed price sole source contract to Medline Industries, LP (UEI: DMPAKJ9N9K66) located in Northfield, Illinois for Ritter 253 LED Exam Light replacements and associated table-mount hardware. The specific items required are 11 units of MIM253012 (Ritter 253 LED Exam Light) and 11 units of MIM9A626001 (Table-mount hardware). The contract is being awarded under FAR 6.103-1 (only one responsible source available) and RFO 12.102 authority for the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (MEDVAMC) in Houston, Texas. The NAICS code is 339113 with a size standard of 800 employees; Medline Industries is classified as Other than Small Business.
The justification for sole source award documents that the Ritter 253 LED Exam Light is a clinically standardized lighting solution specifically designed for medical examination environments, offering focusable LED illumination with low heat output and extended service life. Current lighting equipment at the facility is beyond its lifecycle with reduced brightness and inconsistent output, adversely affecting clinical visibility and efficiency. The selected vendor is an authorized distributor capable of providing the exact OEM-validated configuration with certified components, full manufacturer warranty, and compliant packaging, whereas unauthorized distributors risk incorrect configurations, warranty complications, inventory delays, and equipment mismatches that would disrupt clinic standardization. The estimated contract value is redacted. Responses from other interested vendors claiming capability to meet the requirement were due by 11:00 AM Central Time on September 18, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to keturah.busey@va.gov. The contract was digitally signed on September 3, 2026, by Steven Berkeley, Contracting Officer/NCO16 CAT HOU.
