The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 6, issued a Special Notice on March 10, 2026, announcing its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Stryker for Neptune Rover maintenance services. The procurement is designated as J065 under NAICS Code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with an estimated value of $34 million. This notice is not a competitive solicitation but rather a statement of the agency's intent to award a contract to a single vendor based on justification under FAR 13.106-1(b). The contract will support the Asheville VA Medical Center in Asheville, North Carolina, and will be structured with a base year and four option years. All inquiries regarding this opportunity must be directed via email to the Contracting Officer, Emily Donahue, at Emily.Donahue@va.gov, as telephone requests will not be accepted.

While this is a sole source procurement, interested businesses that believe they can meet the stated requirements and possess relevant past experience and expertise are invited to submit written notice by the March 16, 2026 deadline at 10:00 a.m. EST.
