The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for audiology booths required at Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) in Hamilton and Clermont, Ohio. The agency intends to negotiate a sole source contract under Simplified Acquisition Procedures using FAR Part 6.302-1 authority, citing only one responsible source available. The procurement involves Acoustic Systems Audio booths with the associated NAICS code 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing. The intended vendor is e3 Diagnostics, a small business located in Dayton, Ohio.
