About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VA Caribbean Healthcare System) issued a sole-source justification notice on November 20, 2025, for preventive and corrective maintenance services on Olympus medical scopes and related equipment. The procurement, awarded to Olympus Latin America, Inc. under FAR 13.501 simplified procedures on November 9, 2025, establishes a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement with an estimated value under $7.5 million covering maintenance for 114 total pieces of medical equipment, including eight specialty items, five video bronchoscopes, four EUS scopes, sixty-one GI video equipment pieces, thirty-five fiberscopes, and five reprocessors. The VA justified the sole-source award based on Olympus's exclusive authorization as the only service provider capable of supplying original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts and performing repairs in Puerto Rico, citing patent and intellectual property protections that would otherwise void equipment warranties and compromise patient safety if non-authorized vendors were used. Although a market research effort included a public intent to sole source notice that generated a response from Total Scope, Inc., the VA determined that only Olympus possessed the requisite technical capability and authorization to service these highly specialized medical devices. The contract, numbered 36C24826A0007, is managed by VA Network Contracting Office 8 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with Contracting Officer Baryan Sierra serving as the primary point of contact.
