About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, through Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, has published a Notice of Intent to award a sole-source contract for preventive maintenance and repair services on Steris Automated Endoscope Reprocessor (AER) equipment at the Detroit VA Medical Center. The procurement is identified as solicitation number 36C25026Q0525 and falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance). The contracting action is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), which permits sole-source procurement when only one responsible source exists. This notice was posted on April 29, 2026, and represents the VA's intention to contract exclusively with Steris as the sole factory-authorized supplier for the specialized medical equipment it manufactures and distributes.
Steris is designated as the sole source because it is the only factory-authorized supplier of parts and service for its manufactured equipment, including products under the brand names AMSCO, Finn Aqua, HAMO, Black Diamond Video, Medisafe, and Cantel/MEDIVATORS, and does not utilize a distributor model. The response deadline for interested contractors is May 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, with submissions to be directed via email to Contracting Officer Jeannie Ortiz at jeanne.ortiz@va.gov. Although the procurement intends a sole-source award to Steris, any responsible source that believes it can fully meet the requirements may submit a quote for government consideration by the deadline. Interested parties must provide clear and convincing evidence of their capability to meet all government requirements, and no solicitation document is available; telephone requests will not be accepted. The Small Business Administration size standard for this procurement is $34.0 million, and the determination to proceed with or without competition remains solely within the government's discretion.
