E3 Audiology Calibration

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 10 in Cincinnati, Ohio has published a Special Notice for E3 Audiology Calibration services intended for the Louis Stokes Cleveland VAMC. The notice announces the agency's intent to negotiate a sole source, Firm-Fixed Price contract with E3 Diagnostics, Inc., located in Arlington Heights, Illinois. This special notice is published in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements and satisfies the mandatory publication threshold for proposed contract actions. The acquisition falls under the Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance category (NAICS 811210) and involves maintenance and repair of medical equipment. The Department believes that only the proposed contractor possesses the required capabilities to meet this specific requirement.

Interested parties may submit a capabilities statement or quotation to challenge the sole source justification, with responses due by February 16, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to Sara Wood, Contracting Officer, at sara.wood1@va.gov. Any response must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, as this is not a competitive solicitation. The Government will not reimburse any costs incurred by contractors in preparing responses to this notice. While this special notice provides an opportunity for qualified contractors to present alternative capabilities, the stated intent remains to award the contract to E3 Diagnostics, Inc. unless compelling evidence of competitive advantage is presented. The notice represents an opportunity for contractors in the medical equipment calibration and repair sector to challenge the sole source determination if they possess equivalent or superior capabilities.
