About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 issued a Sole Source Justification Notice for food compost and recycle compactors, along with a cart washer system, to support the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System. The contract, awarded to SAN-I-PAK PACIFIC, INC. on December 5, 2025, totals $558,707.88 and includes equipment such as self-contained compactors, a cart dumper, guide channels, a load platform, and an electric steam generator, with installation, delivery, and freight. The sole source justification was approved because SAN-I-PAK PACIFIC, INC. is the exclusive manufacturer and authorized supplier of the San-I-Pak autoclave sterilizer system, possessing unique proprietary knowledge and specialized technical expertise that cannot be readily replicated by other vendors. The VA determined that switching to an alternative vendor would cause unacceptable delays, compatibility issues, and significant project disruption, factors that were validated through market research and a Sources Sought Notice that generated only two small business responses. The contract performance period spans from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with an estimated equipment delivery date of June 2026, under FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for small business procurement.
