About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, awarded a firm-fixed GSA contract valued at $109,500.00 to Itamar Medical, Inc. on March 6, 2026, for the WatchPAT One Direct Program, a sleep apnea diagnostic solution. The contract was awarded to the large business Original Equipment Manufacturer under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B) as a sole-source acquisition, as the VA determined that only WatchPAT ONE Direct Services could meet its specific requirement for a FedRAMP-authorized Somnoware workflow capable of supporting direct-to-patient shipping, secure data ingestion, and integration with the VA's CPRS/Cerner electronic health record systems. The VA justified the non-competitive award by noting that implementing alternative solutions would require months of additional integration work, FedRAMP authorization processes, and security assessments that would create unacceptable delays and costs while jeopardizing continuity of care for Veterans. The VA indicated its commitment to competitive acquisitions in the future once other vendors achieve FedRAMP-authorized Somnoware integration and demonstrate operational readiness for direct-to-patient workflows.
Notice text
White River Junction VA Medical Center has awarded a firm-fixed GSA contract to Original Equipment Manufacturer large business Itamar Medical for the purchase of the WatchPAT One Direct Program through GSA contract 36F79723D0108.
This determination is made under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B), which permits limiting sources when only one solution can meet the Government s minimum needs for unique or highly specialized services. The VA s minimum need is not a specific device brand but a FedRAMP-authorized Somnoware workflow that supports direct-to-patient shipping, secure ingestion, and integration with VA s CPRS/Cerner systems. At present, only WatchPAT ONE Direct Services meets these requirements in VA s production environment.
Implementing alternatives would require new Somnoware integration, FedRAMP authorization for associated cloud workflows, and VA security assessments processes that typically take months and introduce unacceptable delays and costs, jeopardizing continuity of care for Veterans.
The VA remains committed to competitive acquisitions in the future and will consider vendors who achieve FedRAMP-authorized Somnoware integration and demonstrate operational readiness for direct-to-patient workflows. Awarded contract 36F79723D010836C24126F0055 to ITAMAR MEDICAL, INC. for 109500.00 on 2026-03-06.
