About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 8, specifically the VA Caribbean Healthcare System's Network Contracting Office 8, issued this Special Notice on December 19, 2025, regarding a sole-source procurement for maintenance services of an UltraSafe Formalin Dispensing System. The notice announces the VA's intent to negotiate directly with Milestone Medical Technologies, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, under the authority of FAR part 13.106-1(b). This is not a competitive solicitation, and no solicitation package is available for general distribution. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a size standard of $34.0 million and PSC Code J059.
The primary objective of this sole-source procurement is to secure specialized maintenance services for critical medical equipment where improper calibration or maintenance could result in patient misdiagnosis or harm. The VA justifies the sole-source approach by citing Milestone Medical Technologies, Inc.'s exclusive ownership of replacement and upgrade licenses, qualified personnel, manufacturing maintenance publications, and proprietary diagnostic software unavailable to third-party vendors. The contract will consist of a base one-year period with four one-year option periods. Interested parties must submit responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government by the deadline of December 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time via email to Contract Officer Elder Vazquez at elder.vazquezmelendez@va.gov. This notice provides an opportunity only for vendors who can substantiate competitive advantages, rather than an open bidding process.
