About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 issued a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Parabit Systems Inc. for three Law Enforcement Officer podiums by May 15, 2026, with a response deadline of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The procurement is restricted to Parabit Systems Inc., the original equipment manufacturer and sole distributor, due to the specific requirements for custom powder-coated metal construction and interchangeability with existing facility infrastructure at the Buffalo Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
The Buffalo VA Medical Center at 3495 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo, New York, is procuring two ballistic-rated podiums (Model M-300-10110-BR) and one non-ballistic-rated podium (Model M-300-10110), each displaying the VA logo on the front, with an estimated value of $97,250. The justification for sole source award rests on the podiums' custom powder-coated metal design, which differs from competitors' wood-only offerings and provides continuity, interchangeable parts, and reduced officer training requirements. Parabit Systems Inc., located at 2677 Grand Ave, Bellmore, New York 11710, holds exclusive distribution rights with no other Letters of Authorization granted.
Market research across GSA, FPDS, DSBS, and Adds Up databases confirmed no competing sources met the specified requirements. The solicitation number is 36C24226Q0561 (NAICS 334290, PSC 7195). The contracting office in Canandaigua, New York, primary contact is Barry Sawyer, Contract Specialist, at 585-393-8563 or Barry.Sawyer@va.gov.

Bellmore, NY 11710
The Buffalo Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center located at 3495 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo NY; 14215-1129 is requesting these Parabit Systems Law Enforcement Officer Podiums because they offer the correct aesthetics, fit, and finish providing continuity and interchangeable parts for the Buffalo VA Medical Center. They are custom made from powder coated metal while the other manufacturers are offering products that are exclusively made from wood products. This will allow the VA Medical Center seamless continuity within the facility and less officer training.
Parabit Systems Inc. is the OEM of the item and sole distributor. No other LOA s have been granted, thus the need for a sole source award.
