J063--Rauland Responder Notice of Intent to Sole Source Bedford VA Medical Center

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to issue a sole source award to Pavion, a large business, for the maintenance of Rauland Borg Responder Software at the Bedford VA Medical Center. This procurement will be conducted under simplified acquisition procedures as authorized by FAR 13-501(a). The notice was posted on November 20, 2025, and is classified under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services) and PSC code J063 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems). The notice is informational in nature and does not constitute a formal request for quotes or a solicitation of offers. It is being managed by Veterans Integrated Service Network 1.

All responsible sources are invited to submit capabilities statements for possible consideration in future procurements, with submissions due to contract specialist Carissa Sarazin at carissa.sarazin@va.gov no later than 4:00 PM Eastern Time on November 28, 2025. The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the marketplace of the VA's intent to award a sole source contract to Pavion while providing an opportunity for other qualified contractors to demonstrate their capabilities for future opportunities. While the current procurement is designated for sole source award, interested parties should note that there are no specific set-asides or special eligibility requirements beyond being a responsible source capable of providing the required services. The streamlined nature of this acquisition under simplified procedures reflects the VA's need for timely maintenance support of critical security and communications infrastructure at the Bedford facility.
