About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, Battle Creek VAMC announced a notice of intent to sole source barcode scanners to Censis Technologies, Inc. under RFO Part 6.103-1 authority, with responses due by 12:00 PM on September 16, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement under Simplified Acquisition Procedures; no competition is anticipated unless clear and convincing evidence is submitted that competition would benefit the Government.
Battle Creek VAMC requires seven ultra-rugged 1D/2D corded barcode scanners with stands and seven cordless units with stands as replacement equipment for the Sterile Processing Service's CensiTrac Instrument Tracking System. VA Directive 1116(2) mandates use of CensiTrac's third-party tracking system; Censis Technologies holds a sole-source agreement with Zebra for the Ultra-Rugged scanners, which are programmed exclusively to operate with CensiTrac's platform, rendering alternative sources unavailable. The estimated contract value is $28,982.00, with a firm fixed price award anticipated. Market research identified 583 vendors under NAICS 334118, but zero small business vendors matching the CensiTrac requirement. The product is not available on the GSA schedule or the Network Contracting Office's Class Waiver List. Responses must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence of competitive advantage and be received by the deadline. Contact Joseph Cogswell, Contract Specialist, at joseph.cogswell@va.gov or 371-988-1545. Solicitation number is 36C25026Q1022.
