About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically the VA Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC), has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract for VoiceOver equipment maintenance and software licensing at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. The agency plans to negotiate directly with GovSmart, Inc. under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 4106(c), which allows for sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. This procurement involves maintaining VoiceOver equipment and providing current software licenses, with GovSmart being identified as the only authorized government provider recognized by the original manufacturer, Voicebrook. The contract structure will be a firm fixed price arrangement for one base year with four option years, classified under NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the market of the government's sole source intention while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities before the procurement proceeds. Any firm believing it can meet the requirements must submit capability statements by 10:00 AM Central Time on October 9, 2025, including detailed information about their products, services, and customer references. Critical eligibility requirements include obtaining confirmation from Voicebrook that the contractor is an authorized government provider, as this supporting documentation must accompany any response. The government will evaluate any responses received but retains full discretion to proceed with the sole source negotiation regardless of submissions, and if no qualifying responses are received, the procurement will move forward with GovSmart, Inc. as planned.
