R420--DEMCA Dues

The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 Contracting Office, intends to negotiate a single-source purchase order with Detroit East Medical Control Authority (DEMCA) for DEMCA dues at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit, Michigan. This pre-solicitation notice is being issued under FAR 13.106(b)(2), which allows solicitation from a single source without competitive bidding. The contract falls under the NAICS Code 541990 for All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, with a size standard of $17 million. No competitive proposals are being requested, and the government retains sole discretion for determining the procurement approach. The notice explicitly states that no telephone inquiries will be accepted, and no solicitation package is currently available.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations for the contract. The contract appears to be for a base year purchase order with DEMCA, located in Wixom, Michigan. While specific award values are not detailed, the size standard of $17 million suggests potential financial scope for the procurement. The posted date is May 10, 2025, with a response deadline of May 12, 2025, indicating a very short timeline for potential vendor engagement. The contract's PSC Category is R420, which relates to Professional Support: Certifications and Accreditations, further highlighting the specialized nature of the procurement. The government's approach suggests a highly targeted, non-competitive acquisition of specific services or dues from DEMCA for the VA Medical Center.
