About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, awarded contract 36F79719D0097 to L1 Enterprises Incorporated for Karl Storz video equipment and support services on a sole-source basis, with a total award value of $1,423,152.32, on September 24, 2026.
The justification invokes the brand name exception under GSAR 538.7104-4(b)(1), citing that Karl Storz technology is proprietary and incompatible with competing manufacturers such as Olympus or Stryker. The Salt Lake City Health Care System at George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center determined that replacement with alternative brands would require complete system replacement of existing Karl Storz integrated video tower and console systems valued at more than the proposed acquisition cost, plus facility adjustments, staff retraining, and surgical procedure cancellations. Market research confirmed L1 Enterprises is the only authorized MSPV distributor of Karl Storz equipment, preventing application of the VA Rule of Two. The equipment and services will support urology and Ear, Nose, Throat surgical procedures in the medical center's operating rooms.
The procurement is structured as a firm-fixed-price task order under Federal Supply Schedule contract 36F79719D0097 (held by L1 Enterprises). The period of performance is a base year from September 30, 2026, to September 29, 2027, plus four option years extending through September 29, 2031. The acquisition includes specialized video endoscopes, optical components, imaging systems, and 12 months of comprehensive maintenance services per year. Place of performance is the George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center, Salt Lake City. The authority cited is FAR 6.302-1(c) for brand name justification.
