About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VISN 08), operating through James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida, has published a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the procurement of a Spectralis Tracking OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) System. Posted on April 22, 2026, this notice announces the government's intention to award a non-competitive contract for advanced diagnostic imaging equipment required by the hospital's Ophthalmology Clinic. The sole-source award is justified under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source), as market research confirms that Heidelberg Engineering GmbH is the sole manufacturer of the specified equipment and L1 Enterprises, Inc. is its exclusive authorized distributor for U.S. Government customers. This acquisition seeks to replace end-of-life OCT units with equipment that provides high-resolution diagnostic imaging and involuntary eye movement compensation to improve veteran patient care. The notice provides an opportunity for potential vendors to demonstrate authorized capability prior to contract award.
The primary objective of this procurement is to obtain replacement diagnostic equipment that meets original equipment manufacturer specifications and federal procurement standards for the VA's ophthalmology operations. Interested vendors must respond by April 27, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time to the contracting office in Tampa, Florida, demonstrating authorized capability to supply the required Spectralis system and associated services. L1 Enterprises, Inc., identified as a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), meets the eligibility criteria for sole-source award authority under 38 U.S.C. § 8127(c) and VAAR 819.7008, which permit non-competitive awards to qualified SDVOSB concerns. Market research established that no other authorized distributors qualify as SDVOSB vendors, and price analysis was benchmarked against a comparable VA Boston Healthcare System award from September 2025. The anticipated contract value remains below the $5 million threshold for SDVOSB sole-source actions, and if no alternative responsible sources submit documentation of authorized capability, the government will proceed with the sole-source award to L1 Enterprises, Inc.
