The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 2 is seeking to procure maintenance and repair services for Hologic ThinPrep 2000 Processor and Compass Stainer instruments located at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in Bronx, New York. The scope of services includes yearly preventative maintenance, an annual customer care call, on-site service and application support, and telephone technical support. This procurement is being pursued as a sole-source award under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC J065 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies). The VA has determined that Hologic, Inc. is the only authorized service provider for this specialized equipment based on a proprietary letter from the manufacturer and market research findings that identified no other qualified vendors. Interested firms that believe they can meet these requirements may submit written notification with supporting evidence to Contract Specialist Zachary Whiting at Zachary.whiting2@va.gov by October 24, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, with the solicitation response due by October 27, 2025.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside and represents a sole-source award to Hologic, Inc., the current and only authorized service provider for the equipment in question. The small business size standard for this NAICS category is $34 million, though no specific contract value or award amount has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The services are structured on a firm-fixed-price basis and are expected to continue on a yearly cycle, with services including annual preventative maintenance and ongoing technical support throughout the contract period. If no qualified alternative vendors respond to the government's call for written notification by the October 24 deadline, the VA will proceed with the sole-source award to Hologic, Inc. without further competition or delay.
