The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 04, has published a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a medical imaging system trade-in contract. The notice, posted on February 4, 2026, pertains to Philadelphia's need to trade in their existing TIMS Medical 2000 FEES System. The contracting officer intends to award a sole source contract to Foresight Imaging d/b/a TIMS Medical, the incumbent vendor located in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1. This Special Notice is not a competitive solicitation but rather an announcement of the Government's intent to award a non-competitive contract. The procurement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and will result in a firm fixed-price open market order.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to notify interested vendors that VISN 04 intends to negotiate directly with the incumbent supplier for a medical equipment trade-in. Interested contractors capable of supplying this requirement must submit responses via email to Contract Specialist Joanne Skaff at joanne.skaff@va.gov by February 9, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. There are no specific eligibility criteria outlined; however, vendors must demonstrate capability to supply the TIMS Medical 2000 FEES System trade-in requirement. The solicitation applies to the Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing industry (NAICS 339112) and falls under the Imaging Equipment and Supplies product service code (PSC 6525). The Government reserves absolute discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award, and the justification for this acquisition approach will be posted upon contract award.
