J065--Stryker Neptune Service Maintenance

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Stryker Sales, LLC for maintenance services on medical equipment. The procurement covers maintenance and scheduled service for 20 Neptune 3 Rover units, 4 Neptune Smart Dock units, and 1 Neptune 3 ULPA Filter ProCare Tier 1 unit. Stryker Sales, LLC has submitted a proprietary letter establishing that its trained ProCare Technicians are certified by Stryker to perform all required service and maintenance on these products. The agency is pursuing this sole-source procurement under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1, determining that Stryker is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency's requirements. This Special Notice was posted on January 7, 2026.

All responsible sources interested in demonstrating their capability to perform these maintenance services have until January 14, 2026—seven days from publication—to submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration. The contract will be structured with a base performance period from February 11, 2026 to February 10, 2027, followed by four optional one-year renewal periods extending through February 10, 2031. Submission of alternative proposals does not constitute a request for quotations, and responses will be evaluated to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the government. If no affirmative written response is received within the seven-day window, the contract will be awarded to Stryker Sales, LLC without further notice. Contractors must demonstrate capability in electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance, specifically for medical equipment service as identified under NAICS code 811210 and PSC code J065.
