The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source Firm Fixed Price contract to Censis Technologies, Inc. The contract is for replacement Censitrac Scanners to be used at the Castle Point Campus VAMC in New York. The procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for "Only One Source Reasonably Available," with urgency cited as the primary justification. The contract falls under NAICS code 334118 for Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing. The specific requirement is to purchase scanners that are directly compatible with the existing SPS service system to ensure uninterrupted patient services.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure replacement scanners that can seamlessly integrate with the current medical equipment infrastructure. The government plans to execute the award on or about March 21, 2025, with no competitive quote request being issued. While interested sources may submit capabilities, the notice explicitly states that no capability briefings or telephonic inquiries will be honored. The sole source approach is designed to maintain system continuity and prevent potential disruptions in patient care. Contractors interested in this opportunity should note that any submitted information must be appropriately marked if proprietary, and the government will not reimburse sources for information provided. The intended awardee, Censis Technologies, Inc., is located at 4031 Aspen Grove DR STE 350 in Franklin, TN. Any capabilities received will be considered for potential future requirements, though this specific procurement is not open to competitive bidding.
