J065--phacoemulsification service contract

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VA NCO 2) has published a Special Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source for a service contract with AMO Sales & Services Inc, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary. This notice pertains to maintenance, repairs, parts, software updates, and technical support for two Johnson & Johnson Veritas Vision System equipment units located at the New Jersey Healthcare System's East Orange Campus. The contract is classified under NAICS code 811219 for electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance services. The notice announces the VA's intention to proceed with a sole source award based on AMO Sales & Services Inc being the only known authorized service provider for this specialized equipment. This is not a competitive solicitation, though the VA provides an opportunity for other interested firms to submit written objections or alternative proposals.

The contract will commence on November 1, 2025, and extend through October 31, 2026, with provisions for three additional option years. The service agreement encompasses comprehensive maintenance coverage including replacement parts, labor, travel expenses, tools, technical support, software and hardware updates, telephone support, and continuing education for VA staff. All interested firms must submit written notification by November 24, 2025, at 10:00 am ET via email to Megan.Ross3@va.gov to express interest or challenge the sole source determination. While there are no formal eligibility restrictions stated, any responding firm must demonstrate capability to meet the original equipment manufacturer's standards and service requirements for the specified Johnson & Johnson vision system equipment. If no alternative responses are received by the deadline, the VA will proceed directly with awarding the contract to AMO Sales & Services Inc.
