About this file
This is a Single Source Justification for a federal contract award under the simplified acquisition threshold filed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The contracting activity is VISN 23, Iowa City Medical Center, seeking an annual software subscription for lab blood sample collection tube label makers. The estimated cost is $13,975 for the base year, with a total of $41,925 for the base year plus two additional years. The procurement includes a base year plus four option years under Acquisition Plan Action ID 36C263-26-AP-0559. The justification for single source award under FAR 13.106-1 is based on the requirement that the software must be approved on the VA Technical Reference Model (TRM) and meet all VA security risk requirements. Currently, only one known software product, Latice, satisfies these mandatory requirements. Market research was conducted through a notice of intent to sole source posted on SAM.gov from September 2, 2026, to September 14, 2026. Two vendors responded with questions during this period, but neither possessed software approved by the VA TRM. The contracting officer, Curt Larose, certified approval of the purchase in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) on October 1, 2026.
