About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VA VISN 8) has issued a Special Notice concerning a sole source procurement for pneumatic tube system upgrades at the C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center. Network Contracting Office 8 (NCO 8) intends to award a contract to TransLogic Corporation dba Swisslog Healthcare under FAR 6.302-1, which allows for non-competitive procurement when supplies are available from only one responsible source. The upgrade involves replacing critical components of an existing pneumatic tube system, including 10 blower air shifters, 28 vacuum bypass valves, 89 send/receive stations, and 70 distribution stations. Market research has determined that TransLogic Corp. is the only vendor capable of providing the necessary supplies and services for this specialized medical facility equipment. The pneumatic tube system is an automated material transport mechanism used primarily in healthcare settings to efficiently move medical items like lab specimens, medications, and documents between facility locations.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to conduct market research and gather Expressions of Interest (EOI) from potential vendors who might demonstrate comparable capabilities to TransLogic Corporation. Interested contractors must submit detailed data about their capabilities, including pricing and technical information, via email to Lakiesha.anderson@va.gov by April 16, 2025, at 4:30 PM EST. The email subject line must include "36C24825Q0674 Pneumatic Tube System Upgrades" to be considered. This is not a formal solicitation, and no contract will be awarded based on responses received. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the proposed contract after reviewing submitted EOIs. Contractors should provide comprehensive information demonstrating their potential to meet the VA's specific technical requirements for the pneumatic tube system upgrade. Submitters are responsible for ensuring their Expression of Interest reaches the designated contracting officer by the specified deadline.
