About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VA VHA VISN 8) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Johnson Controls Inc for Confocal Microscope Maintenance. The contract will be solicited under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1) for soliciting from a single source. The procurement is specifically for scheduled maintenance, repairs, and software updates for a confocal microscope, with services encompassing preventative maintenance, labor, travel, expenses, and parts for unlimited on-demand service visits and 24/7 telephone support. Johnson Controls Inc is identified as the only authorized dealer capable of performing service and maintenance on the specific equipment. The contract will have a period of performance consisting of one base period plus two option years, categorized under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to publicly announce the VA's intent to sole source the maintenance contract and provide an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate capabilities. Interested sources may submit a capability statement via email to william.penhallegon@va.gov by January 20, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, with a specific email subject line of "36C24825Q0211 Confocal Microscope Maintenance". Contractors should be aware that this is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal request for quotes will be issued. The government will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing a response to the notice. Eligibility is effectively limited, as Johnson Controls Inc is described as the only authorized dealer capable of servicing the specific equipment, with any unauthorized third-party service potentially voiding existing equipment warranties. The opportunity represents a targeted, single-source procurement focused on maintaining critical medical diagnostic equipment for the VA healthcare system.
