About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, through its Network Contracting Office 1, has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a NanoKnife 3.0 Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) System to Marathon Medical Corporation. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 339112 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies) and carries a Product Service Code of 6515. The West Haven VAMC is seeking to replace its existing NanoKnife System 2.2.1, which reached end-of-life status on November 1, 2024, and is no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturer AngioDynamics. The proposed contract is valued at $433,417.09 and will be placed against the GSA Federal Supply Schedule Contract Number 36F79718D0321. The sole-source justification is based on GSAM/R 538.7104-3(b), which allows procurement from a single source under specific circumstances.
Any responsible sources that believe they are qualified to provide equivalent NanoKnife 3.0 IRE systems or comparable products must submit detailed documentation to kurt.fritz@va.gov by April 8, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time to be considered in the government's market research evaluation. The submission should include comprehensive and relevant documentation that allows the VA to determine whether a competitive procurement process should be initiated instead of proceeding with the sole-source award to Marathon Medical Corporation. This Special Notice is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal request for proposals is currently available; submissions will be evaluated solely to inform the government's decision on competition versus sole sourcing. There are no specific eligibility restrictions mentioned, and any responsible source may submit documentation for consideration. The government explicitly retains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received, and interested contractors should be aware that requests for a formal solicitation will not receive a response.
