About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 9, awarded contract 36C24C26A0002 to Minburn Technology Group LLC on a sole-source basis for Howard Medical Carts and accessories on September 30, 2026, for a total amount of $4,289,692.40.
The VA Regional Procurement Office, Central (Murfreesboro, Tennessee) justified the sole-source award under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) — only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Minburn Technology Group is the sole authorized distributor for Howard Industries medical carts to the VA; Howard Industries will not sell directly to the VA. Market research conducted on June 8, 2026, queried 116 SDVOSB and VOSB vendors. A Special Notice posted to sam.gov on June 8, 2026, resulted in three responses, but none were capable of providing Howard Medical carts. The justification emphasizes that standardization on the current brand is essential for patient safety, clinical workflow continuity, staff training efficiency, and operational cost avoidance across the consortium's 18+ hospitals, given proprietary configurations, brand-specific accessories, existing IT integration approvals, and established staff competencies.
The BPA covers three cart types—Barcode Medication Administration carts, Workstations on Wheels, and Transfer carts—with sixteen configurations, supporting 36 VA Medical Centers within the Midwest Consortium. The ordering period is two years (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2028) with an optional six-month extension through April 30, 2029. Minburn Technology Group is an SBA Small Business certified SDVOSB vendor. NAICS code is 339113; PSC code is 6515.
