The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, has published a Special Notice for a sole-source procurement of replacement parts and installation services for Canon Aplio I800 Ultrasound Machines. The VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System requires a Canon power supply unit (Part # PM30-43282-2*H) to restore functionality to critical diagnostic equipment. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) with PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). The solicitation is being conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12 for commercial products and services. The VA has determined that Canon Medical Services USA Inc. is the sole source capable of fulfilling this requirement.

The VA is seeking replacement parts and installation services through a firm fixed-price contract award using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method. Interested vendors must submit clear and convincing evidence demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the Government by 11:00 AM Eastern Time on December 9, 2025, to either Laura Poma (Contract Specialist) at laura.poma@va.gov or Kellie Konopinski (Contracting Officer) at (734) 222-4330. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notice of intent to sole source, and responses must demonstrate why Canon Medical Services USA Inc. should not be awarded the contract exclusively. Market research has confirmed that no alternative vendors or authorized third-party suppliers exist to provide the specific technical requirements for this critical medical equipment component.
