Intent to Sole Source - GE Equipment PM Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7, operating through Network Contracting Office (NCO) 7 at the Charleston VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina, has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for GE Equipment Preventive Maintenance Services. The notice announces the agency's intention to award a firm-fixed price contract to GE Precision Healthcare LLC of Waukesha, Wisconsin, for preventive maintenance services on GE brand radiology equipment. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a business size standard of $34 million. The contract is structured with a base period from November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2026, followed by four one-year option periods extending through October 31, 2030. The estimated award date is November 1, 2025.

The sole source justification is based on FAR 6.302-1, which allows for single-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. The VA has determined that GE Precision Healthcare LLC, as the original equipment manufacturer, is the only firm authorized to perform comprehensive repairs and maintenance on all aspects of their radiology equipment, including critical software updates. Market research confirmed that no alternative vendors could provide the complete scope of work required without substantial cost duplication. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and interested parties with questions must contact Contracting Officer Jacob A. Tackett via email at jacob.tackett@va.gov, as telephone inquiries will not be accepted. The procurement is limited to firms capable of meeting the specialized technical requirements for maintaining GE medical equipment at the Charleston VA Medical Center.
