7010--ProConnections ProMCS 1500 Telemedicine System - Notice of Intent to Sole Source

INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VHA Regional Procurement Office Central, Network Contracting Office 10, intends to enter into a sole source procurement pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, for a ProConnections ProMCS-1500 Telemedicine Solution for the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, 2215 Fuller Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order to CACI, Inc. - Federal, 14370 Newbrook Drive, Chantilly, VA 20151. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541519 Other Computer Related Services and the Business Size Standard is $30.0M. It is the Government s belief that CACI is the sole dedicated re-seller/supplier for ProConnections products and services, and only the ProConnections ProMCS-1500 Telemedicine Solution will be acceptable for use at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, as the system needs to communicate with other users in the VISN and the TeleICU Center in Cincinnati, which will not happen if all stations are using a different system/platform.
