J065--Base Year Alcon constellation Lensx Service Contract 695

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 12, has issued a Special Notice (Solicitation Number 36C25226Q0215) for a Base Year Alcon Constellation Lensx Service Contract at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. This is a sole-source procurement notice, meaning the VA intends to negotiate directly with a single contractor rather than conduct open competition. The notice was posted on January 15, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and Product Service Code J065 (Medical Equipment Repair and Maintenance Services). The contract will be performed at 820 S Damen Ave, Chicago, IL 60612-3728. This special notice provides an opportunity for interested parties to submit their capabilities before the procurement potentially moves to sole-source negotiations.

The primary objective of this solicitation is to secure maintenance and service support for Alcon Constellation and Lensx medical equipment at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, with Alcon Services Inc. identified as the original manufacturer justifying sole-source consideration. The response deadline for interested parties to submit capabilities is January 22, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Central Time, with submissions directed to the contract specialist via email. While the VA currently intends sole-source procurement with Alcon Services Inc., the government retains full discretion to open the procurement to competition based on received capabilities submissions. There are no specific set-asides indicated for this opportunity, meaning it is open to all eligible contractors meeting the requirements. The solicitation will be archived seven days following the response deadline, and the government will make its final determination regarding whether to proceed with sole-source or competitive procurement after the submission period closes.
