About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, through its Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10 located in Kettering, Ohio, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole-Source a contract to Sotaris LLP for lockout tagout services and equipment inspection. The contract opportunity, identified as VA-26-00052705 with solicitation number 36C25026Q0469, falls under NAICS code 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and PSC code J042 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Safety Equipment).

This special notice was posted on April 16, 2026, and represents the VA's intention to negotiate directly with the named source rather than conduct open competition.
The requirement encompasses OSHA 1910.147-compliant inspection of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, training, and lockout tagout services for VA facilities. Although the notice indicates the VA's intent to sole-source the contract to Sotaris LLP, FAR 5.207 allows all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by the deadline of 12:00 PM Eastern Time on Monday, April 27, 2026, to Jennifer Nowak at Jennifer.Nowak@va.gov. Interested contractors must provide clear and convincing evidence demonstrating their ability to comply with the requirement and articulate how competition would benefit the Government. The VA will not reimburse costs associated with information submission, and the agency reserves the sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with sole-source negotiations or open the requirement to competitive bidding based on responses received.
