About this file

This document is a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Consolidated Mail-Out Pharmacy (CMOP) in Tucson, Arizona. The VA intends to award a sole source contract to IMA North America for replacement Kalish dispensing canisters in 8-Liter and 4-Liter sizes, specifically for their EKC 3406 model Kalish cells. The procurement is justified by the unique compatibility of these specific canisters with the existing production line, which would require significant renovation to accommodate alternative parts.

Vendors must provide their SAM Unique ID, business size under NAICS code 327213, socio-economic status, company name, contact information, and evidence of technical expertise if challenging the sole source determination. The contract is for Product Service Code 8110 and NAICS Code 327213, with the contracting office located in Leavenworth, Kansas, and the point of contact being Contracting Officer Larry Zaritz.

SPECIAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE. THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD.

This Notice is to announce that the Department of Veteran Affairs, Consolidated Mail-Out Phamacy(CMOP) located in Tucson, Arizona, is proposing to negotiate a contract with IMA North America on a sole source basis to procure replacement Kalish dispensing canisters in both 8-Liter and 4-Liter sizes. The proposed action is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.501(a). The reason justifying this sole source procurement is that the Government believes only one responsible source can provide the supplies that will satisfy the agency's requirement.

Background:

The Tucson CMOP production line is setup to run with this specific make and model and any modifications would require a renovation of the production line. These items are not available anywhere else and are required for our EKC 3406 model of our Kalish cells. Currently there are not other options for these parts.

**A sole source contract award will result after this Notice.**

In the event that a vendor disagrees with the sole source, then documentation of technical expertise must be presented in sufficient detail for the Government to determine that your company possess the necessary functional area expertise and experience to compete for this acquisition.

**VENDOR RESPONSE SHALL INCLUDE THE BELOW**

Responses to this INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE shall include: SAM Unique ID #, size of business pursuant to North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) 327213, and whether your company has special socio-economic status (i.e., SDVOSB, VOSB, Small Business, HUBZone, etc.).
