J065--Notice of Intent to Sole-Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10), has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole-Source a contract for a Service and Support Agreement for RD UVC Disinfectant Machines. The notice is associated with NAICS code 334413 for Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing and PSC code J065 for Medical Equipment Maintenance and Repair. The VA intends to award the contract to Steriliz, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR 6.302-1. The government asserts that Steriliz is the only responsible source capable of meeting their specific equipment requirements, and this notice represents their intention to negotiate with this sole source.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide transparency about the VA's intent to sole-source the contract while allowing other potential contractors an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation by emailing Jennifer Nowak at Jennifer.Nowak@va.gov no later than 11 AM EST on Wednesday, May 28, 2025. To be considered, respondents must provide clear and convincing evidence demonstrating their ability to comply with the requirement and show how competition would be advantageous to the government. This is not a competitive solicitation, and no solicitation package is currently available. The VA emphasizes that they will not pay for submitted information and retain sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competition based on any responses received. Eligibility is open to all responsible sources, though the VA has preliminarily identified Steriliz, LLC as the preferred contractor for this specific requirement.
