About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on April 16, 2026, for the procurement of a Polymedco Immunochemical Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) analyzer and associated supplies at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in Chillicothe, Ohio. This special notice announces the government's intention to award a sole source contract to Polymedco Cancer Diagnostics Products LLC., a small business and original equipment manufacturer located in Cortland Manor, New York. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and Product Service Code 6630 (Chemical Analysis Instruments), and will be conducted under FAR Part 12 for the acquisition of commercial products and services. The contracting office is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with Contract Specialist Lonnelle Jones serving as the primary point of contact.

The objective of this Notice of Intent to Sole Source is to inform interested parties of the VA's plan to negotiate a firm-fixed-price contract with Polymedco for a five-year period consisting of a base year plus four one-year option periods for FOBT analyzer equipment and consumable supplies. Contractors or interested parties who wish to challenge this sole source determination must submit clear and convincing evidence that competition would provide greater benefit to the government by the deadline of April 20, 2026, at 1:00 pm EST.
