J065--M GAIT - Maintenance and Support

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, through Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10, has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to sole-source a contract for M-Gait Maintenance and Support services. The contract, numbered 36C25026Q0017, will be awarded to Hacoma, Inc. under Simplified Acquisition Procedures using the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which allows sole sourcing when only one responsible source exists that can satisfy agency requirements. The contract falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance and PSC code J065 for maintenance, repair, and rebuild of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies. The government believes that only Hacoma, Inc. possesses the required capabilities to successfully meet the M-Gait equipment maintenance and support requirements.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intention to proceed with sole-source procurement while providing an opportunity for other qualified vendors to challenge this decision. Interested parties who believe they can provide competitive alternatives must submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations that demonstrate clear and convincing evidence of their ability to comply with the requirements and show how competition would benefit the government. All responses must be emailed to Chad Kemper at chad.kemper@va.gov by 2:00 PM EST on Friday, September 5, 2025. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competition based on received responses and will not compensate vendors for information submitted. This notice serves as a transparency measure rather than a formal solicitation, as no solicitation package is currently available.
