J065--NEW - Samsung Ultrasound SMA B+4

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, specifically Network Contracting Office 17, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a firm-fixed-price contract to Neurologica Corp. for preventative maintenance and repairs of Samsung Digital Radiology (DR) equipment at the Texas Valley Coastal Bend Health Care System in Harlingen, Texas. The procurement is being conducted as a non-competitive solicitation under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which allows for sole-source procurement when only one responsible source can meet agency requirements. Neurologica Corp. is identified as the sole authorized provider for servicing Samsung DR products, with the requirement that all service personnel must be either direct employees or under direct contract with the company. This is a specialized maintenance contract specifically for VA-owned Samsung Digital Radiology equipment used in the facility's radiology department.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to formally announce the intended contract award and provide an opportunity for other potential vendors to demonstrate comparable capabilities. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements or proposals within ten days of the notice's publication to assess whether alternative sources exist. If no affirmative responses are received, the contract will be awarded to Neurologica Corp. The solicitation has a response deadline of March 31, 2025, and potential respondents are instructed to contact the contract specialist Ognian Ivanov directly via email. Contractors seeking to participate must have Samsung Certified Training and the ability to provide trained service personnel either as direct employees or under direct contract. The contract falls under NAICS Category 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and Product Service Code J065 (Maintenance/Repair of Medical Equipment). Notably, the point of contact does not have a Federal Business Opportunities registration account, so vendors are explicitly directed to respond directly to the provided email address.
