The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to issue a sole source award for repair and maintenance services of a Phigenics Water Quality Monitoring System at the Bedford VA Medical Center. This procurement will be conducted under simplified acquisition procedures as authorized by Federal Acquisition Regulation 13-501(a) and has been assigned product service code J046 and NAICS code 811310. The intended awardee is the small business Phigenics. The contracting office is located in Augusta, Maine, with Contracting Officer Yolanda Rankin serving as the primary point of contact. This notice does not represent a formal solicitation or request for quote but rather an announcement of the government's procurement intent.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the VA's intention to award a sole source contract to Phigenics while providing an opportunity for all responsible sources to submit capabilities statements for consideration in future procurements. All interested contractors must submit capabilities statements to yolanda.rankin@va.gov by 12:00 PM Eastern Time on March 25, 2026, which represents the sole deadline for participation.
