J065--Belimed SmartHub Agreement Intent to Sole Source For Cincinnati VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole-source, Firm-Fixed Price contract with Belimed, Inc. for a Belimed SmartHub Service Agreement at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. The procurement will be executed under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.2 simplified acquisition procedures. The VA has determined that Belimed, Inc., with SAM UEI TRLHML1JJ289, is the only vendor capable of successfully meeting the requirement for medical equipment service and maintenance. This Special Notice is published to satisfy FAR 5.201(b)(1) requirements for publicizing proposed contract actions. The contract will cover services at the Cincinnati VAMC, located at 3200 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45220.

Contractors are invited to submit capabilities statements or quotations for consideration, with responses due by Friday, December 16th at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to Sara Wood, Contracting Specialist, via email at Sara.Wood1@va.gov. The VA emphasizes that this notice is not a competitive proposal request or solicitation, and no solicitation package is available. Any responses must provide clear and convincing evidence demonstrating how competition would be advantageous to the government. The procurement falls under NAICS category 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC J065 (Maintenance/Repair of Medical Equipment). While the VA intends to negotiate solely with Belimed, Inc., they will consider alternative submissions that can effectively prove competitive superiority. Importantly, the government will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing or submitting responses to this notice.
