The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source procurement for VA Replacement Security Lighting installation. The Network 23 Contracting Office plans to award this contract to Omaha Electric Service, Inc., an electrical contractor operating under NAICS Code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) with a size standard of $19.0 million. The procurement will be conducted without competitive bidding under the authority of FAR 819.203-70. The solicitation number for this procurement is 36C26325Q1034, and the contracting office is located in Coralville, Iowa. This notice explicitly states that it is not a request for quotes or information from other potential contractors.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intention to conduct a sole source procurement due to the proprietary nature of the specific security lighting equipment required. The response deadline for this procurement is September 5, 2025, at 12:00 Central Time, though no formal solicitation will be issued given the sole source nature of the award. Since this is designated as a sole source procurement, there are no eligibility criteria for other contractors to participate, as the government has determined to negotiate with only Omaha Electric Service, Inc. The procurement involves both the supply and installation of specialized VA replacement security lighting systems. Any questions regarding this procurement should be directed to Timothy Kimmel, Contract Specialist, at timothy.kimmel@va.gov at the Iowa City VA NCO23 contracting office.
