DC10--Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Rauland Responder server replacement - Spokane VA

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a firm-fixed price service contract with EVCO Sound & Electronics. The contract is specifically for server replacement work related to the Rauland Responder 5 nurse call system at the Spokane VA Medical Center located in Spokane, Washington. EVCO has been identified as the only authorized service provider of Rauland for the Spokane area, which justifies the sole source procurement approach. The Special Notice was posted on February 5, 2025, with a response deadline of February 10, 2025. The anticipated contract award date is set for February 17, 2025, and the procurement will fall under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to satisfy federal acquisition regulations requiring public notification of the VA's intent to negotiate a sole source contract. The notice explicitly states that this is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation will be made available to potential bidders. Contractors should understand that any responses received will only be considered for informational purposes regarding future procurements, and the government will not compensate for any submitted information. EVCO Sound & Electronics is the sole eligible contractor for this specific server replacement project, as they are the authorized Rauland service provider in the Spokane area. The contract will be firm-fixed price and cover server replacement work for the proprietary Rauland nurse call system at the Spokane VA Medical Center. The notice serves as the only communication of the government's intent to solicit, negotiate, and award the contract to EVCO Sound & Electronics.
