About this file
This is an Intent to Sole Source and Justification document for a procurement of Sysmex Quality Control Kits by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10. The document supports a proposed sole-source award to Sysmex for specialized laboratory quality control kits used in the VA's clinical operations. The justification outlines why Sysmex products are uniquely suited for the VA's existing laboratory infrastructure and quality assurance protocols, including technical compatibility with current systems, established clinical validation, and the impracticality of switching to alternative vendors without disrupting patient testing services. The sole-source determination addresses regulatory compliance and continuity of care requirements specific to VA medical facilities. As a Special Notice opportunity (Solicitation Number 36V25026Q0892), this procurement follows the VA's intent-to-sole-source notification process, which allows for public comment before award. No specific response date, pricing information, or contract vehicle type is indicated in the available documentation, though this procurement would be conducted through standard VA acquisition procedures.

SPECIAL NOTICE
NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
Sysmex Quality Control Kits
The Department of Veterans Affairs Cleveland Medical Center (CLE VAMC), 10701 East Blvd., Cleveland, OH 44106, Kent Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) VA Kent Imaging and Infusion Center, 3838 Cascades Blvd., Kent, OH 44240, intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of RFO 12.102(a), Restricting Competition. The NAICS code is 334516 with a small business size standard of 1,000. The VA intends to solicit and negotiate with Sysmex America, Inc., 577 Aptakisic Road, Lincolnshire, IL 60069, or an authorized distributor, for XN-L CHECK.
The Government requires the Sysmex brand-name XN-L CHECK, Material No. 213569, 12 x 3.0 mL, three levels, to support routine quality-control testing and performance monitoring of the existing analyzer. Sysmex America, Inc. has identified the XN-L CHECK as the manufacturer-authorized quality-control material for use with the XN-L Series analyzers and advised that it supports the established Sysmex quality-management process, including BeyondCare Quality Manager and IQAP peer-group comparison capabilities. The Government's requirement is therefore based on the established compatibility and quality-control requirements of the existing XN-450 analyzer and is not based solely on a preference for a particular commercial product. The Government intends to establish a five-year contract for this requirement.
