About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (VISN 1) has issued a Special Notice of intent to sole source a contract to P.D.S. Consultants Inc. for prescription eyeglasses and optician services across all VA Medical Centers in New England. The contract is scheduled to run from May 28, 2025, to September 30, 2025, with a 4-month base period and two 2-month option periods. This procurement will be a firm-fixed contract utilizing the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 339115 for Ophthalmic Goods Manufacturing. The VA is pursuing this sole-source procurement under the authority of 41 USC 3304(a)(5) and 38 U.S. Code 8127(c), which allows for specific contracting approaches with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The notice specifically targets the provision of prescription eyeglass manufacturing and in-house optician fitting services for 17 VA medical centers and clinics across the New England region.
Contractors interested in this opportunity have until May 23, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST to submit qualifications and documentation to Contract Specialist Divianna Mathurin at divianna.mathurin@va.gov. The primary objective is to ensure continuous prescription eyeglass services for veterans while the VA develops a long-term national consolidated procurement solution. Eligible contractors should provide detailed and relevant documentation to enable the government to conduct market research and make a proper determination about the procurement approach. While the notice is not a competitive solicitation, the VA will consider submissions to potentially modify their sole-source intent. P.D.S. Consultants Inc., as an SDVOSB, is the incumbent contractor that has provided these services since 2015 and is the proposed sole source for this bridge contract. The VA plans to ultimately compete future contracts through a national consolidated acquisition that will result in multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts awarded to SDVOSB vendors.
