About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10) issued this Special Notice on April 15, 2026, announcing its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Censis Technologies, Inc. for laser etching equipment. The VA Healthcare System, Network Contracting Office 10, located in Kettering, Ohio, is seeking to procure a CensiMark Laser Unit Training & Configuration (Part # CT0205) and a CensiMark Laser Unit Bundle (Part # CT0206), with one unit of each item. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed price basis under Simplified Acquisition Procedures with no option years included. This notice is not a formal competitive solicitation, and no solicitation package is currently available for distribution.
The VA has determined that only Censis Technologies, Inc. possesses the required capabilities to meet this requirement because the CensiMark Laser Etcher is the sole laser etcher verified by the RMD tracking system manufacturer as compatible with the current NIHCS Censitrac tracking system. While other RMD laser marking devices exist in the market, they are not universally compatible with the VA's existing RMD tracking systems. Interested parties who believe competition would be advantageous to the Government must submit clear and convincing evidence to laura.poma@va.gov and kellie.konopinski@va.gov by April 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. The point of contact for this procurement is Contracting Specialist Laura Poma at 734-845-3523. The applicable NAICS code for this procurement is 513210 (Software Publishers), and the Product Service Code is 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).

Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: There are several RMD laser marking devices on the market. However, RMD laser etchers are not universally compatible with all RMD tracking systems. Compatibility must be verified with the RMD tracking systems manufacturer. The CensiMark Laser Etcher is verified by the RMD tracking system manufacturer, Censi Technologies, Inc., as being the only etcher that is compatible with the current NIHCS Censitrac tracking system.
