About this opportunity
The West Texas VA Health Care System has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source procurement to Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. for maintenance and repair services of a Symbia Evo medical system. The notice was published by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, a civilian agency. The specific equipment in question is a Symbia Evo system with Serial Number 1806, located in Building 1, Room 264-1 of the facility in Big Spring, TX. The system was acquired on 08/01/2023 and has a VA ID# of EE 32794. The procurement will be executed through a Federal Supply Source blanket purchase agreement, with Siemens identified as the sole capable vendor for this specialized medical equipment.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide transparency about the intended sole source procurement and invite potential alternative vendors to submit capability statements or proposals. Contractors have a 5-day window from the publication date (February 14, 2025) to respond with any competitive proposals or capability statements that might demonstrate a more advantageous solution for the government. The sole source justification stems from Siemens being the only vendor capable of providing the necessary system and required linearity supplies. The procurement will be conducted under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which allows for procurement from only one responsible source when no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. If no affirmative written responses are received within the specified timeframe, the contract will be issued to the current vendor without further notice. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing) and PSC code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).
