9905--Wayfinding Signage Intent to Sole Source - SDV Office Systems LLC

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to conduct a sole-source procurement for wayfinding signage and supplies. The VA Central Western Massachusetts Healthcare System requires new signage and signage upgrades to support wayfinding and daily operations at their medical facilities. The government intends to solicit and negotiate exclusively with SDV Office Systems LLC under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole-source procurements when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339950 for Sign Manufacturing and carries the identifier 36C24125Q0840. This represents a specialized acquisition focused on maintaining consistency with existing signage standards across VA medical facilities.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform the market of the VA's intention to proceed with a sole-source contract while providing an opportunity for other qualified sources to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested contractors have until September 17, 2025, at 12:00 PM to submit detailed documentation to Molly.Greening@va.gov proving they are qualified to provide the required wayfinding signage products. The new visual communication package must match the current signage standard used by the healthcare system. Any responsible sources responding must provide relevant documentation that allows the government to conduct adequate market research and make a proper determination about competition. The government retains sole discretion in deciding whether to convert this to an unrestricted open-market procurement based on responses received. This notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is currently available.
