J065--PAR Excellence Support Service

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Indiana Health Care System, Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with PAR Excellence System, Inc. for PAR Excellence Support Service. The notice falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a small business size standard of $34 million. The VA is utilizing FAR 6.302.1, which permits sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The contract will cover preventive maintenance services for PAR Excellence Equipment located at the Indianapolis VA Medical Center. This is not a competitive solicitation or request for proposals, and no solicitation package is available.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the VA's intent to proceed with a sole source acquisition for equipment maintenance services. The contract period will run from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods available. Any interested parties who believe competition would be advantageous to the government must provide clear and convincing evidence and submit their responses via email to Cora.Wells@va.gov by 1:00 PM on July 31, 2025. The VA explicitly states that telephone inquiries will not be accepted, and the final determination whether to compete this requirement remains solely at the government's discretion. Responses must demonstrate that competitive procurement would benefit the government rather than the currently planned sole source approach.
