About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs National Acquisition Center has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a $150 million contract to procure customized hearing aid parts and accessories for eligible veterans and Department of Defense members. The VA awarded this sole-source contract to WS Audiology USA, Inc. under FAR 6.302-1, justifying the non-competitive procurement based on the proprietary nature of hearing aid parts and accessories that are manufacturer-specific and cannot be obtained from alternative sources. The contract is structured as a five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreement with a firm-fixed price, with an Independent Government Cost Estimate totaling $37,578,788.29 over the five ordering periods. The primary objectives are to ensure adequate national clinical availability of hearing aid parts and accessories for compliant ordering and to standardize pricing across the VA enterprise. The contract was awarded on August 8, 2025, following market research that confirmed WS Audiology USA as the only responsible source capable of providing these essential proprietary components necessary for maintaining veterans' hearing aid devices.
