About this file
This is a Special Notice of Intent for a sole source, firm-fixed price contract for arthroscope and centrifuge equipment for the Black Hills Healthcare System. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23 (located in Coralville, Iowa) intends to award the contract to Arthrex Inc under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which permits sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The justification for sole source award is that Arthrex Inc is the Original Equipment Manufacturer, and no other third-party vendor is authorized to install or service this proprietary equipment. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 339112 and Product Service Code 6515.
While this notice does not constitute a competitive solicitation, other vendors may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation within seven calendar days of publication to demonstrate their ability to meet the government's requirements. The government will review such submissions to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis, though the final determination to compete or proceed with sole source award remains solely at the government's discretion. The response deadline is August 18, 2026 at 4:00 PM Central Time. Interested parties should direct inquiries to Contract Specialist Robert Bennett at robert.bennett8@va.gov or 319-339-7079.
