Q523--GARNER VA CLINIC - PKG 134 Drain System with installation

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for drain system services and installation at the Durham Veterans Medical Center. The contract, valued at an estimated $19 million, will be awarded to Derrah Morrison Enterprises LLC for the procurement and installation of Environ mate DM6000 drain systems and additional units. This procurement falls under NAICS codes 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and 238220, with a Product Service Code of Q523 for Medical-Surgery services. The contracting officer Byron Brown can be reached at Byron.Brown4@va.gov for any questions regarding this opportunity. The notice explicitly states that this is not a competitive solicitation and no solicitation documents are available.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide advance notification of the VA's intention to negotiate a sole source contract under the authority of Public Law 104-262 and Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation Part 873. The procurement is justified under VAAR 819.7008, which allows for sole source contracting with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). Contractors have an extremely tight response window, with a deadline of August 28, 2025, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time. Eligibility is restricted to the named SDVOSB contractor, as this is a sole source procurement rather than a competitive opportunity. The notice emphasizes that telephone requests will not be accepted and that the decision to proceed with this non-competitive acquisition is solely at the government's discretion.
