About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, intends to award a brand-name-only, firm-fixed-price contract for Vocera badges and accessories to support VISN 23 medical centers, with a capability statement deadline of June 22, 2026. The procurement is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and is being pursued under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Service Will Satisfy Agency Requirements) on the basis that Vocera equipment provides best value; any alternative brand would require complete equipment replacement across the medical centers.
Place of performance is the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area. Interested vendors must provide proof of Original Equipment Manufacturer certification demonstrating authorization to distribute Vocera brand products and provide third-party services for the badges and equipment. Vendors believing they can meet the Government's requirements may submit capability statements in writing to Curt LaRose, Contracting Officer, at curt.larose@va.gov within ten calendar days of publication (due date June 22, 2026 at 8:00 AM Central Time). The Government will review all submissions solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis; the final decision to compete alternative brands remains solely within the Government's discretion. NAICS code 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing); PSC 5895 (Miscellaneous Communication Equipment).
