Notice of Intent To Sole source

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7, through its Network Contracting Office (NCO) 7 in Augusta, Georgia, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for medical equipment procurement. The agency intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to SpaceLabs Healthcare of Snoqualmie, Washington, for brand name Hybrid IR Room/Command Room and transports. This procurement falls under NAICS code 339113 with a business size standard of $800 employees, and the estimated award date is July 14, 2025. The contracting officer for this procurement is Joseph Horn, who can be reached via email at Joseph.Horn@va.gov. The notice was posted on July 9, 2025, with a response deadline of July 11, 2025.

The purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the VA's intent to make a sole source award to a large business for specialized medical equipment, specifically brand name SpaceLabs Healthcare products. This is an emergent requirement being processed under FAR 13.106-1(b), which allows for sole source procurement under specific circumstances. The notice explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive proposals, meaning other contractors cannot submit bids or proposals for this opportunity. Contractors seeking information must contact the contracting officer via email only, as telephone requests or inquiries will not be accepted. No set-aside designation applies to this procurement, and the tight timeline between posting and response deadline reflects the urgent nature of this medical equipment requirement.
