About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically Network Contracting Office 23, has issued a Special Notice of Intent to sole source a firm-fixed price contract with It's Never 2 Late, LLC for Lifeloop subscription services at the St. Cloud VA Community Living Center. The notice is published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101(a)(1) and is being conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which allows for procurement from only one responsible source. The VA has determined that the Lifeloop software is proprietary to It's Never 2 Late, LLC and no other supplies or services will satisfy their specific requirements. The procurement falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 513210 for Software Publishers and product service code 7A20 for IT and telecom application development software.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide transparency about the VA's intent to award a sole source contract and offer an opportunity for other vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested vendors may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation to contract specialist Amanda Patterson-Elliott via email by 5:00 pm CST on June 4, 2025. While the VA believes It's Never 2 Late, LLC is the only vendor capable of meeting their requirements, they will review any submitted documentation to potentially reconsider the sole source approach. The contract will provide a subscription for two iN2L devices with 24-7 access to personalized digital content supporting resident wellness at the St. Cloud VA Community Living Center. The initial contract term is for one base year from August 17, 2025, to August 16, 2026, with four optional extension years possible through August 16, 2030. Vendors interested in this opportunity must demonstrate their ability to fully meet the government's specific technological and service requirements.
