About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, has issued a pre-solicitation notice for a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to procure maintenance services for the Abbott Optis Laser Scanning System at the Nebraska-Western Iowa VA Health Care System. The VA intends to award this contract to Abbott Laboratories under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), asserting that only one source is reasonably available and capable of providing the required maintenance services for this specialized medical equipment. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J065 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies). The contract is deemed essential to ensure the health and care of veterans served by the facility. Interested vendors who believe they can meet the government's requirements may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations to John Milroy at john.milroy@va.gov by 12:00 PM on July 14, 2025, though the government retains sole discretion on whether to conduct a competitive procurement process.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured as a sole source award to Abbott Laboratories, the manufacturer of the Abbott Optis Laser Scanning System. The government has identified Abbott Laboratories as the incumbent and only qualified vendor capable of providing the specialized maintenance services required for this medical equipment. While the notice does not specify contract values, budget ranges, or service timelines, the solicitation number 36C26325Q0982 has been assigned to this requirement. The VA maintains that Abbott Laboratories possesses unique capabilities necessary to maintain the laser scanning system, which is critical for veteran healthcare operations. The extremely short response window of four days (from July 10 to July 14, 2025) reflects the government's confidence in the sole source justification and the urgency of securing these maintenance services.
