J065--Zimmer Biomet Rosa Robotic System Base Plus Two Service Contract

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, located in Augusta, Maine, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract to Zimmer US Inc. The proposed procurement is for a Base plus four-year service agreement for the Zimmer Biomet IntelliCart System. The contract will be awarded under the authority of Soliciting from a Single Source using FAR Part 13.106-1(b), with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. The notice was posted on November 6, 2024, with a response deadline of November 12, 2024, at 5:00 PM EST. The VA is seeking responses from responsible sources that believe they are qualified to provide the required products and services.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to conduct market research and determine if a competitive procurement is warranted for the Zimmer Biomet IntelliCart System service contract. Eligible contractors interested in being considered must submit detailed and relevant documentation to kurt.fritz@va.gov by the specified deadline. The government will review the submitted information solely to assess whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, with the final determination remaining at the discretion of the VA. This is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation is currently available. Contractors should note that requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. The contract will be a firm-fixed arrangement, focusing on maintenance and repair of medical equipment within the Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance category. Potential respondents should carefully prepare their submissions to demonstrate their qualifications and capability to meet the VA's specific requirements.
