J065--Oracle Cerner EHRM B-Side for UniPOC | Base Intent to Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, issued a Special Notice on October 24, 2025, announcing its intent to award a sole source, Firm-Fixed Price Contract to Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. for a UniPOC B-Side Integration Service Agreement. The contract is designated for the Dayton VA Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio, and is being administered by Network Contracting Office 10 in Cincinnati, Ohio. This notice satisfies federal publication requirements under FAR Subpart 13.2 and provides eligible contractors with an opportunity to submit competing capabilities statements or quotations. The solicitation number is 36C25026Q0081, and the work falls under Product Service Code J065 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Medical Equipment) and NAICS Code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance).

The primary objective of this notice is to identify alternative sources capable of providing the UniPOC B-Side Integration Service Agreement before the government proceeds with the sole source award to Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. Interested contractors must submit their capabilities statements or quotations by Friday, October 31, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to Contracting Officer Christopher Council at Christopher.Council@va.gov. While any qualified contractor may submit a response, the government will not reimburse any costs incurred in preparing submissions. This Special Notice is not an active solicitation but rather a notice of intent; however, any submitted capabilities statements or quotations will be formally considered during the contract award evaluation process. The government's stated intent to sole source to Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. suggests strong justification exists for this contractor's selection, though the submission window provides a final opportunity for competing vendors to present their qualifications.
