7B22--Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade Phase 2

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 21, through its Network Contracting Office 21 (NCO 21), is procuring electronic infrastructure upgrade supplies and services for the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The procurement includes electronic server switches, connections, and proprietary programming management control services. Key contract requirements encompass the procurement, installation, and programming of server infrastructure across multiple locations, along with training, technical support, service call response, server maintenance, and warranty services. The VA intends to award this contract as a sole source acquisition to Arctiq US Inc., the sole authorized distributor and service provider for Access Technologies Group server switches in the Las Vegas area; however, all responsible sources are invited to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for agency consideration. The response deadline is April 28, 2026, at 10:00 am PST, with submissions directed to Contracting Officer Mathew Czeshinski at Mathew.Czeshinski@va.gov, and the formal solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov on or about April 28, 2026.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of Phase 1 of the electrical infrastructure upgrade previously awarded to Arctiq US Inc. under contract 36C26125P1474, with compatibility requirements necessitating the same vendor. The requirement involves the installation of 46 server switches across 20 locations at the facility, with connections in IT closets, server racks, between multiple floors, and across several buildings. The sole source justification is based on proprietary rights and technical compatibility with existing infrastructure, limiting competition to the incumbent contractor. While a specific award value is not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the contracting officer has approval authority extending to $900,000 to $90 million for other than full and open competition, suggesting a potentially substantial contract value. The solicitation number is 36C26126Q0454, with product/service code 7B22 and NAICS code 334111, and the presolicitation notice will be archived 30 days after the response date.
