The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, specifically through the Boston VA Healthcare System's Jamaica Plain Medical Center, has published a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a firm-fixed contract to STERIS Corporation for an Endodry Service Agreement. The procurement, identified under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC category J065 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies), is being conducted by Network Contract Office 1, Procurement Office East. The government intends to award this contract using single-source procurement authority under FAR Part 13.106-1(b), meaning the VA plans to negotiate with only STERIS Corporation for this requirement. This Special Notice was posted on November 4, 2025, and represents a formal notification to the market of the government's procurement intent.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide other responsible sources an opportunity to submit detailed documentation demonstrating their qualifications to provide equivalent products and services, thereby enabling the government to conduct adequate market research before making a final determination. Interested contractors must submit their responses to kurt.fritz@va.gov by November 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, including comprehensive and relevant documentation that establishes their capability to perform the work. While all responsible sources may submit responses, there are no specific eligibility restrictions beyond demonstrating qualifications in electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance services related to medical equipment. The government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with the non-competitive procurement or conduct a competitive process based on the responses received; however, this notice is informational only and does not constitute a current Request for Proposals, and no formal solicitation is available at this time.
