7A21--MedBridge Subscription

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VISN 21) is seeking to procure a MedBridge Subscription from MedBridge, Inc., located in Bellevue, Washington. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees and Product Service Code 7A21 for IT and Telecom Business Application Software. The VA intends to award this as a sole source contract under FAR 13.106-1(b)(2), asserting that only one source is available to meet the government's requirements. However, the agency is allowing other responsible sources to submit quotes and supporting documentation demonstrating their capability to perform the requirement. Non-Original Equipment Manufacturers must provide an authorized distributor letter signed by the OEM, and small businesses must indicate compliance with subcontracting limitations and the non-manufacturer rule. All responses must be submitted to Alex Hernandez at Alex.Hernandez@va.gov by September 10, 2025, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and identifies MedBridge, Inc. as both the intended sole source contractor and incumbent provider. The contract requirement specifies a quantity of 472 Silver (Lite) licenses for the MedBridge Subscription service. While no specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the notice, the procurement will be structured as a monthly subscription service. The contract will be performed at the VA Sierra Pacific Network facility located in Vallejo, California. If no competitive responses are received by the September 10th deadline, the government will proceed with publishing a sole source Request for Quote in accordance with FAR 5.102. The extremely tight timeline, with only one day between posting and response deadline, suggests urgency in the procurement process.
