J065--Ziehm Imaging C-Arm Service Repair

The Hampton VA Medical Center, part of the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for service and repair of two Ziehm Imaging C-Arm systems. The contract will be awarded directly to Ziehm-Orthoscan Inc., which is identified as the sole manufacturer and distributor of Ziehm products and the exclusive supplier of all service-related materials for these medical imaging devices. This procurement action is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1, which permits sole source acquisitions when only one supplier can meet the government's requirements. The notice is classified under NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code J065 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies). The solicitation number is 36C24625Q0846, and the opportunity was posted on July 2, 2025.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for interested parties to submit written responses or comments regarding the procurement decision. The comprehensive service contract will cover all aspects of maintaining the C-Arm systems, including parts, travel expenses, field repairs, extended warranty services, retrofits, service contracts, and unit certifications. Any firm or individual wishing to submit comments must do so in writing by 12:00 PM EST on July 7, 2025, to the designated contracting officer at Yanique.williamschin@va.gov. Respondents must include their firm name, point of contact, title, address, and telephone number in their submissions. Since this is structured as a sole source procurement, the government is not requesting competitive quotes and has predetermined that Ziehm-Orthoscan Inc. will receive the contract award. The tight five-day response window reflects the administrative nature of this notice rather than a competitive solicitation process.
