6525-- MRS/VOLPARA Enhancement & Support

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO 21) intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Volpara Health Inc. for Mammography Reporting System (MRS) software to be deployed at the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System in Las Vegas, Nevada. The software will be used to track mammography exams, monitor veteran BIRADS codes, and ensure compliance with FDA and National Mammography Program regulatory standards. The VA conducted market research across multiple platforms including SBA VetCert, GSA Advantage, GSA eLibrary, and SAM.gov, but found no alternative software compatible with existing equipment at the facility. While the solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov on or about August 11, 2025, and all responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations, the government will consider these submissions before determining whether to proceed with the sole source acquisition. Interested parties must respond in writing to Contracting Officer Mathew Czeshinski at Mathew.Czeshinski@va.gov by 10:00 AM EST on August 11, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all responsible sources. Volpara Health Inc. is both the intended sole source awardee and the current contractor, as they are the sole manufacturer of the MRS/Volpara software already installed and licensed at the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System. The contract structure includes four annual option years beyond the base period, though the specific award value was not disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6525 (Imaging Equipment and Supplies: Medical, Dental, Veterinary). The Contracting Officer's sole source determination was justified under FAR 13.106-1, referencing previous contract awards to Volpara Health Inc. for similar software systems.
