About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, issued a Special Notice on November 24, 2025, announcing its intent to sole source a service contract to PROAM Americas LLC for maintenance of Zeiss Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) equipment at the Iowa City VA Healthcare System. This procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b) as a single-source acquisition, with the contract structured as a firm fixed-price arrangement consisting of a base year plus three option years. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J065 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Medical Equipment).
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the market of the VA's intent while providing other interested entities an opportunity to submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to perform the work. Interested contractors must submit responses by December 2, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. Central Time via email to Joseph.Bennett@va.gov, with the solicitation number 36C26326Q0171 included in the subject line. The Notice does not constitute a competitive quotation request, and all responsible sources are eligible to respond; however, the government will use submitted responses solely to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement or maintain the single-source award. The justification for sole sourcing rests on PROAM Americas LLC being Zeiss's only authorized distributor for on-site repair contracts, as confirmed by Zeiss Medictec USA Inc. The government retains full discretion to decide whether to compete the requirement after reviewing any capability statements received by the deadline.
