About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs National Acquisition Center issued this Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice to procure customized hearing aid parts and accessories for eligible veterans and Department of Defense members through a sole-source contract with Oticon, Inc. The VA justifies this single-source procurement under FAR subpart 6.302-1 because hearing aid parts and accessories are proprietary to each manufacturer, making Oticon the only responsible source capable of providing these specialized components for their hearing aid models. The contract was awarded to Oticon, Inc. on August 8, 2025, with a total value of $150 million, structured as a single-award firm-fixed price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract spanning a five-year ordering period. The procurement aims to ensure national clinical availability of hearing aid parts and accessories, enable compliant ordering processes, and standardize pricing across the VA enterprise. Market research confirmed that while five hearing aid manufacturers exist in the market, only Oticon can meet the specific requirements for providing OEM parts and accessories for both current and discontinued Oticon hearing aid models, including components such as microphones, amplifiers, speakers, and related accessories.
