6515--NorCal Wound Therapy System NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VISN 21) has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the NorCal Wound Therapy System procurement. The contracting office, Network 21 Contracting Office (NCO21) located in North Las Vegas, Nevada, intends to award this contract to RC Consolidated Services under a non-competitive procurement process. The solicitation number is 36C26126Q0248, classified under NAICS Code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing, with a 1,000-employee size standard. The government is exercising its discretion to procure from a single source based on sole distributorship and continued operational need. Richard Leistiko, the assigned Contracting Officer, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries regarding this procurement.

The Notice of Intent is issued under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which permits non-competitive procurement when sole source justification exists. No formal competitive solicitation will be issued, and the deadline for inquiries was January 14, 2026, making this notice informational in nature rather than a request for proposals or quotes. Contractors and interested parties cannot submit bids or quotations, as the government has already determined that RC Consolidated Services is the sole appropriate source for this medical instrument system. This sole source determination precludes participation by other contractors regardless of their qualifications or capabilities. The government retains complete discretion in finalizing the contract award, and interested parties with questions should contact richard.leistiko@va.gov for clarification.
