5810--Intent to sole source Resident Guard System

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a Resident Guard System contract with Accutech Security LLC. The notice, published on July 15, 2025, pertains to solicitation number 36C25225Q0482 and falls under NAICS code 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and product service code 5810 (Communications Security Equipment And Components). The VA Hines facility plans to procure a wander prevention system through a limited source contract awarded under FAR 13.106-1(b). This is not a request for proposal or quote, as no solicitation document is available at this time. The government emphasizes that this notice serves solely to inform the market of their acquisition intentions.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to determine whether the proposed sole source acquisition should proceed or if a competitive procurement might be warranted based on market responses. Interested parties must submit questions or comments to Contracting Officer Waymon McNeal at waymon.mcnealjr@va.gov by 12:00 PM Central Time on July 22, 2025, with the subject line referencing the notice of intent. The government will not reimburse any costs associated with developing responses to this notice. The facility's unique requirements for the wander prevention system justify the sole source approach, though the final determination to proceed without competition remains entirely at the government's discretion. Any information received will be evaluated solely to assess whether competitive procurement alternatives exist for this specialized communications security equipment.
