J063--Security Camera System Maintenance Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract for Security Camera System Maintenance Services at the VA Providence Healthcare System in Rhode Island. This notice, posted on February 26, 2025, is not a formal solicitation but serves to inform potential contractors of the planned procurement approach. The opportunity is classified under NAICS code 561621 for Security Systems Services and PSC code J063 for maintenance and repair of alarm, signal, and security detection systems. The VA is proceeding with a sole-source procurement under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), which allows solicitation from a single source. The notice fulfills the FAR Part 5.101(a) posting requirements, providing transparency in the procurement process.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to notify interested parties of the VA's intention to negotiate a sole-source contract for security camera system maintenance services. The response deadline is March 7, 2025, and interested contractors are encouraged to contact the Contracting Specialist, Paula Doerfler, via email at Paula.Doerfler@va.gov for more information. While the notice indicates a sole-source approach, the Contracting Officer retains sole discretion to determine if received responses might warrant a competitive procurement instead. No specific set-aside has been identified, which suggests the opportunity is open to a broad range of potential contractors. Contractors interested in this opportunity should carefully review the details and be prepared to demonstrate their capabilities in security system maintenance services. The Contracting Officer will ultimately make the final determination on the procurement method based on the responses received.
