6515--Equipment, MPS 3-ND Console, Ann Arbor

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract for the procurement of a Quest MPS 3 ND medical device. This notice, designated as solicitation 36C25025Q0722, represents a notification to the contracting community that the VA intends to negotiate directly with a single vendor rather than conduct a competitive procurement. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing and Product Service Code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. The contracting activity is located within VISN 10 and will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13.106-1 for this procurement. The VA has identified Sustainment Technologies, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Bryan, Texas, as the sole proposed vendor for this requirement.

The purpose of this sole source procurement is to acquire a Quest MPS 3 ND device specifically for use in surgical operations requiring cardioplegia, a procedure that deliberately stops the heart during certain cardiac surgeries. The Surgery Service and Operating Room departments have requested this specialized equipment to support their medical operations. The VA believes that only Sustainment Technologies, LLC possesses the required capabilities to successfully meet this particular requirement, justifying the sole source approach. Any responses or comments regarding this notice must be submitted by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on July 14, 2025, with the point of contact being Contract Specialist Brooke Hansen at brooke.hansen@va.gov. The government anticipates awarding a firm fixed-price contract and emphasizes that this is not a Request for Proposal but rather a formal notification of their intent to proceed with sole source negotiations. No competitive responses will be accepted, as the VA intends to solicit and negotiate exclusively with the identified vendor.
