J065--SunServices Premier Support - Sun Nuclear - Base - 6/1/25 - 5/31/26

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10, published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract for SunServices Premier Support from Sun Nuclear Corporation. The contract covers maintenance and repair services for medical equipment at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center, with a base period from June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026, valued at $260,745.00. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The VA has determined that Sun Nuclear Corporation is the only responsible source capable of meeting their specific requirements due to the proprietary nature of the hardware and software currently in use. The agency conducted market research through VetCert, DSBS, and other platforms but found no alternative vendors qualified to provide the required services.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the VA's intent to sole-source this requirement while providing an opportunity for other vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. Although the government believes only Sun Nuclear Corporation can fulfill the requirement, interested parties were given until 2:00 PM EST on May 7, 2025, to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations to Chad Kemper at chad.kemper@va.gov. Respondents must provide clear and convincing evidence demonstrating their ability to comply with the requirement and prove that competition would be advantageous to the government. The contract was ultimately awarded to Sun Nuclear Corporation on May 15, 2025, with their facility located in Melbourne, Florida. The procurement includes four potential option periods beyond the base year, and the government retained sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement based on any responses received.
