J065 - Captain James A. Lovell FHCC Howard Medical Cart Maintenance Intent to Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically the Great Lakes Acquisition Center, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for medical equipment maintenance and repair services. The procurement covers annual preventive maintenance and repair services for Howard Medical E-Carts and the Howard Medical Care Protection Gold Package at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Illinois. The VA has determined that Minburn Technology Group LLC is the only available source for these services because the Howard Medical Carts are proprietary equipment exclusively supported by this vendor. The solicitation number is 36C25226Q0372, and the procurement is classified under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) with PSC code J065. This Special Notice is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside opportunity.

Interested contractors have until 9:00 AM Central Time on April 7, 2026, to submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to meet the maintenance and repair requirements. Submissions must be made via email only in either MS Word or PDF format to Contracting Officer Dustin Biermann at Dustin.Biermann@va.gov. The procurement will be conducted under simplified acquisition procedures as outlined in 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i). Although the VA intends to proceed with sole source negotiations with Minburn Technology Group LLC if no competing responses are received, the government retains discretion to open the procurement to competition based on capability statements submitted by interested firms. The contracting office is located at 115 South 84th Street, Suite 101, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53214-1476, and this opportunity is specifically reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.
