J065--NEW Stellant Injection M&R

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 17 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Bayer HealthCare LLC for Stellant Injection Maintenance and Repair services. The contract will be firm-fixed price with a one-year performance period from July 7, 2025 to July 6, 2026. Bayer HealthCare LLC has provided documentation confirming they are the sole authorized service provider for their equipment. The statutory authority for this non-competitive procurement is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The opportunity is classified under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance and PSC code J065 for Medical Equipment Maintenance and Repair.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide transparency about the intended sole-source contract and allow potential alternative sources to demonstrate their capability. Interested contractors have seven days from the notice's publication to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations that might prove a comparable source is available and potentially more advantageous to the government. While this is not a formal request for quotations or proposals, all responsible sources are invited to respond. If no affirmative written responses are received within the specified timeframe, the contract will be issued to Bayer HealthCare LLC without further notice. The government will use any submitted responses to evaluate whether alternative sources exist that could meet the agency's specific requirements. Contractors should carefully review the notice's requirements and be prepared to demonstrate their unique capabilities if they believe they can provide comparable services to Bayer HealthCare LLC.
