5675--Corian Solid Surface Intent to Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2, operating through the Buffalo VA Medical Center, has published a Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract for the procurement of Corian Lava Drift solid surface sheets. This notice, posted on January 20, 2026, announces the agency's intention to award a one-time, firm fixed price contract valued at $110,000 to Parksite, LLC, the sole authorized distributor of Corian products in the designated geographic region. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 337110 (Wood Kitchen Cabinet and Countertop Manufacturing) and PSC code 5675 (Nonwood Construction Lumber and Related Materials). The contracting office is located in Canandaigua, New York, with Barry Sawyer serving as the primary point of contact.

The objective of this sole source procurement is to replace damaged and worn countertops at two VA facilities—one in Buffalo and one in Batavia, New York—with materials that exactly match existing installations to ensure visual and functional continuity. The procurement consists of 50 sheets total of 1/2-inch thickness Corian Lava Drift solid surface, each measuring 60 inches wide by 144 inches long. The response deadline for the Special Notice is January 28, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time; however, this is a notice of intent and not a request for quotes, as the contract will be awarded directly to Parksite, LLC. The sole source justification is based on DuPont's exclusive distribution authority, which permits only Parksite to distribute Corian products within this territory, making it the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's specific requirements for this branded material.
