J065--HFA3 (ProAim) | Base 3OY's Intent to Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, issued a Special Notice on January 14, 2026, announcing its intent to sole source a Firm-Fixed Price Contract for HFA3 Zeiss System Service to Proaim Americas LLC. The contract will support the Chillicothe VA medical facility located in Chillicothe, Ohio, and will be procured in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.2. This Special Notice satisfies the publication requirements under FAR 5.201(b)(1) and represents a non-competitive acquisition directly awarded to the identified contractor. The contracting officer for this procurement is Christopher Council, who can be reached via email at Christopher.Council@va.gov. The contract is classified under NAICS Code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC Code J065 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies).

Interested contractors may submit a capabilities statement or quotation to demonstrate alternative qualifications, with all responses due by January 21, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The government will not reimburse any costs incurred by contractors in responding to this notice. Although this is a sole source procurement with the intent to award directly to Proaim Americas LLC (UEI: KECHQ6LN3HN7), the notice provides an opportunity for competing firms to submit evidence of capability that may be considered during the award process. The contract is structured as a base 3-year firm-fixed price agreement for the provision of specialized Zeiss optical equipment servicing. This Special Notice represents the VA's effort to secure maintenance and repair services for critical medical diagnostic equipment at one of its regional medical centers.
