5820--Portable Radio Network Brand Name Only No Award Notice

This Special Notice serves as a No Award Notice for Solicitation ID 36C24225Q1049, which was originally issued for Portable Radio Network equipment by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2. The solicitation was set aside specifically for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and focused on radio and television communication equipment under product service code 5820 and NAICS code 334220. The contracting activity, managed through the VHA Regional Procurement Office-East Network Contracting Office 2 in Syracuse, New York, covered multiple medical centers and healthcare systems across the northeastern United States including facilities in Albany, Buffalo, Batavia, Bronx, Syracuse, and other locations throughout New York and New Jersey. The original solicitation had a response deadline of September 24, 2025, with Ryan Seburn serving as the primary Contract Specialist contact.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to formally cancel the solicitation after a comprehensive review determined that the government's requirement has changed and the original solicitation is no longer valid. Contracting Officer Corey Swinton issued a memorandum to the file on September 18, 2025, officially cancelling the procurement for the multi-site portable radio network implementation at Buffalo and Batavia VA Medical Centers. The government has reserved the right to re-solicit this requirement in the future, which would be synopsized and posted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 5. The VA expressed appreciation for the time and effort expended by potential SDVOSB offerors who may have prepared submissions for the now-cancelled solicitation. Contractors who were interested in this opportunity should monitor future announcements as the requirement may be reissued under different terms or specifications.
