J065--ATP2 Packaging System Maintenance Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12, through the Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC), has issued a Special Notice for sole source procurement of ATP2 Packaging System Maintenance Services. The agency intends to negotiate exclusively with Chudy Group LLC under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, as they are identified as the only vendor authorized to perform maintenance on the ATP2 Packaging System. This procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a business size standard of $34 million. The contract structure will be a Firm-Fixed Price agreement covering a one-year base period plus four additional one-year option periods. The solicitation number is 36C25225Q0562, and this notice serves as advance notification of the government's intent to proceed with sole source contracting.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide advance notification of the sole source procurement while allowing other potential contractors an opportunity to demonstrate their capability to perform the required services. Any firm believing it can meet the requirements must submit written notification to Contracting Officer Robert Ruska at Robert.Ruska@va.gov by 10:00 AM Central Time on July 8, 2025. Contractors must provide supporting evidence demonstrating their ability to comply with requirements, including a letter from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) confirming their status as an authorized distributor per clause 852.212-71(c). The government will evaluate any responses received; however, the final determination on whether to compete the procurement remains solely at the government's discretion. This acquisition supports sustainment of existing maintenance services that are already in use, emphasizing continuity of critical medical equipment support services.
