DESCRIPTION

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. This is a notice of intent to solicit and award a sole source contract set forth in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)12.102(a), Restricting competition.

The Department of Veteran Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 12 (NCO-12) Great Lakes Acquisition Center, intends to negotiate a sole source Firm-Fixed Price, one-time purchase/one-time delivery contract to Sun Nuclear Corporation: 3275 Suntree Blvd, Melbourne, FL 32940 USA.IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation/Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 12.102. This is for procurement of the Sun Nuclear Daily QA 4 Pro Checker for the Medical Specialty Department located at Clement J Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center: 5000 W National Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53295. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is, 334519 - Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing. The Product of Service Code for this requirement is 6515 - Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. The Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard for this sector is 600 employees.

Rationale:

Pursuant to RFO 12.102(a), there is “only one source reasonably available” to provide the requested end-product under this acquisition. Sun Nuclear’s Daily QA 4 Pro checker possesses unique characteristics that limit availability to a single source. Sun Nuclear Corporation is the sole manufacturer, and no other vendor offers a device that consolidates all required daily linac quality‑assurance functions into one fully automated, indexed, imageable platform. No other device provides this level of automation and system integration. Unique features include: (1) single unified device that combines dosimetry, imaging, and positioning verification in one setup, eliminating multiple phantom exchanges and reducing room entries. This all‑in‑one capability is not available from any other manufacturer; (2) high‑density detector array—including four vented ion chambers, 225 unattenuated diodes, and 24 attenuated diodes—offering broad field‑size coverage and high‑resolution beam metrics not replicated in any alternative QA system; (3) full automation and integrated reporting through SunCHECK v6.0+, enabling automated data capture, centralized documentation, and enterprise‑level QA workflow management. Because no other product consolidates these capabilities and delivers comparable workflow efficiency, no alternative manufacturers can supplies or services can meet the hospital’s clinical, operational, or safety requirements. Therefore, limiting the source to OEM, Sun Nuclear Corp.
