J065--Advanced Sterilization Products(ASP) PM

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Advanced Sterilization Products Services, Inc. (ASP) for maintenance and support of sterilization equipment at the Roseburg and Eugene VA Medical Centers in Oregon. The procurement is specifically for product maintenance, repairs, replacement parts, and technical support of ASP sterilization equipment used in direct patient care. The contract falls under the North American Industry Classification (NAICS) code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. ASP has been identified as the sole source provider because they are the original equipment manufacturer with no authorized distributors for their service-related materials and parts. The procurement is being conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(2) for soliciting from a single source.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to publicize the VA's intent to negotiate and award a contract exclusively to ASP for specialized medical equipment maintenance. The anticipated award date is January 31, 2025, with a contract period covering a base year from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, and potential option years extending through March 31, 2030. Contractors should note that this is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal request for proposals will be issued. Any responses received will only be considered for informing future procurement strategies, and the government will not compensate respondents for submitted information. The contract requires 24-hour technical support and on-site service to maintain sterilization equipment to original manufacturer specifications. Eligibility is effectively limited to ASP, as they are the only authorized provider of maintenance and support for their specific medical sterilization equipment. The VA has determined the pricing to be fair and reasonable based on comparisons with previous contracts for similar services.
