The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration Network Contracting Office 10, located in Cincinnati, OH, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole-source, Firm-Fixed Price Contract with Interactivation Health Networks LLC. The contract is for a WebMD Ignite / HealthClips Video Subscription to be used at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. The procurement falls under the Media Streaming Distribution Services NAICS category and is classified with the PSC code H270 for ADP equipment/software testing. The VA has determined that Interactivation Health Networks LLC is the only candidate capable of successfully meeting their specific requirements for this subscription service.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to satisfy Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements by publicly announcing the intended sole-source contract award and providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate competitive capabilities. Contractors interested in challenging the sole-source determination may submit capability statements or quotations by December 10, 2024, at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time to April Fawley, the designated Contracting Specialist, via email. To be considered, responses must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The VA emphasizes that this notice is not a solicitation or request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation package will be made available. Additionally, the government will not reimburse any costs incurred by contractors in preparing responses to this notice, and they maintain the intention to negotiate exclusively with Interactivation Health Networks LLC unless compelling alternative evidence is presented.
