3590--Cable Televison Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for cable television services at the VA Medical Center in Perry Point. This notice, designated under NAICS code 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and Product Service Code 3590 (Miscellaneous Service and Trade Equipment), is not a formal solicitation but rather an advance notification of the agency's procurement intentions. The VA plans to negotiate the requirement under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), which permits soliciting from a single source. The contracting officer for this procurement is Veronica B. Dillard, who serves as the primary point of contact for interested parties.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide potential contractors an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities before the VA proceeds with sole source negotiations for cable television services. Interested vendors must submit capability statements via email to Veronica.Dillard@va.gov by the response deadline of September 9, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, with a seven-day archive period following the response date. There are no specific eligibility criteria outlined in the notice, as any interested party may submit capability statements for consideration. The contracting officer retains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received, emphasizing that this notice serves as a market research tool rather than a guarantee of competition. The opportunity represents the VA's effort to ensure adequate market assessment while maintaining the flexibility to proceed with sole source procurement if deemed appropriate.
