About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 awarded contract 36F79721D0168_36C25726F0149 to Olympus America, Inc. on a sole-source basis under a Limited Sources Justification, for the lease of 24 gastroenterology scopes, supporting equipment, and maintenance services on September 18, 2026.
The justification cites form, fit, and function compatibility requirements and proprietary maintenance restrictions. The required equipment—Olympus models CF-EZ1500DL (7 units), GIF-EZ1500 (9 units), and PCF-HQ190L with accessories (8 units)—must maintain full compatibility with existing Olympus GI carts and supporting systems already installed at the facility. Only Olympus can provide the required scopes without substantial duplication of costs. A VHA national directive mandating endoscope standardization, issued following past infection control failures, further supports the sole-source determination. Market research across GSA, FPDS, SBA DSBS, AbilityOne, UNICOR, VA SCMC, and manufacturing.gov identified no viable alternatives.
The order is placed against existing FSS Contract Number 36F79721D0168 under FAR Part 8.405-6. Period of performance is a 12-month base period plus four 12-month options. Place of performance is the VA Texas Valley Coastal Bend Health Care System's Harlingen Care Center, Harlingen, Texas. Olympus America, Inc. is located at 3500 Corporate Parkway, Center Valley, PA. The contracting officer and one level above certified the justification on September 3, 2026.
