The VA intends to award a sole-source contract to Sonova USA Inc. under FAR 6.302-1, citing that hearing aid parts and accessories are proprietary to each manufacturer and no other supplier can satisfy the agency's requirements. The contract will provide national clinical availability of hearing aid parts and accessories across the VA enterprise while standardizing pricing for these specialized medical supplies. The awarded contract 36C79125R0008 has a total value of $150 million and was scheduled for award on August 8, 2025, with a five-year ordering period under an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity structure.

Interested parties had 30 days from the July 8, 2025 publication date to submit capability statements, though the VA retained sole discretion on whether to compete the proposed contract.
