J065--FY25: Alcon Vision Sys Service Plan

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8 (NCO 8) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with O.R. Elder, Inc of New York, NY to provide service plan coverage for Luxor, nGenuity, and Constellation LXT healthcare equipment at the Orlando VA Medical Center at Lake Nona in Orlando, Florida. This procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1 as only one responsible source is reasonably available to satisfy the agency requirements, classified under NAICS Code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair & Maintenance. While this is not a request for competitive quotes, firms believing they can meet the requirements must submit detailed information about their products, services, and customer references for providing system coverage for the specified healthcare equipment. Responses will be evaluated based on the firm's ability to demonstrate experience and capability in servicing Luxor, nGenuity, and Constellation LXT equipment, with supporting evidence furnished in sufficient detail. All responses must be submitted to Contracting Officer Kurt Kramer at Kurt.Kramer@va.gov within six calendar days from the publication date, with a deadline of August 6, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all business sizes, with O.R. Elder, Inc identified as the intended sole source contractor. The contract structure will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order with a five-year period of performance, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the notice. The small business size standard for this NAICS code is $34,000,000, indicating the potential scale of the procurement. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the procurement based on any responses received to this notice. If no qualifying responses are submitted by the deadline, NCO 8 will proceed with the planned sole source negotiation with O.R. Elder, Inc. The procurement specifically targets maintenance and repair services for specialized medical equipment rather than equipment acquisition, focusing on ongoing service plan coverage for the healthcare systems at the Orlando VA facility.
