The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to solicit and negotiate a Sole Source, Firm-Fixed-Price Order with the large business Xenex Disinfection Services Inc. The procurement is for a Xenex Disinfection Robot Maintenance and Repair Services. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811310. The Robots are used at the facility to assist with site disinfection. They ensure a lower risk of infection for personnel by using UV light to deactivate germs without the use of chemicals. The Robots are portable, can easily be moved from area to area, and can eliminate from 95 to 100% of contaminants in the environment. There are currently 4 Robots in use at the facility, and the OEM, Xenex, does not have authorized distributors for this service. Because the OEM requires that the service be procured through them directly, this procurement is limited to one source in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) Soliciting from a Single Source, as no other supplies will satisfy the Agency s requirement. The anticipated award date: August 18, 2023.

This requirement is for:

Department of Veterans Affairs

Boise VA Medical Center

500 W Fort Street

Boise, ID 83702
