J065--Durham Natus Flexcare for Natus Sleep Lab System

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 has issued a Special Notice (36C24626Q0188) for a sole source equipment support service agreement with Natus Medical, Inc. for the Natus SleepWorks Sleep Lab System at the Durham VA Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. This procurement is valued at $34 million and falls under NAICS Code 541519 with PSC Code J065 for maintenance and repair of medical equipment. The contract period extends from December 2025 through November 2026, with four additional option years available. The VA is pursuing this as a sole source procurement based on Natus Medical's assertion that the products and services constitute proprietary technology. This Special Notice is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notification of intent to award a sole source contract in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(2).

The purpose of this Special Notice is to notify the contracting community of the VA's intent to negotiate directly with Natus Medical while allowing other qualified vendors an opportunity to submit written notice demonstrating their capability and relevant past experience to perform the required services. Interested businesses must submit written responses with supporting evidence by 12:00 pm EST on November 26, 2025, via email to Cleveland.Wynne@va.gov; telephone inquiries will not be accepted. There are no specific eligibility criteria beyond the ability to provide equipment support services for the Natus SleepWorks Sleep Lab System, though contractors must demonstrate relevant expertise and past experience through their written submissions. While the government will consider all timely responses, it retains sole discretion to proceed with the sole source award to Natus Medical or to open the procurement to competitive bidding based on the submissions received.
