About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (VA VISN 15) has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement for specialized mailing supplies at the Charleston Consolidated Mail-Out Pharmacy (CMOP). The notice specifically pertains to procuring S4 Jean Coolers, which are unique temperature-controlled shipping boxes constructed from recycled jean material. The procurement targets a specific box (Item ID 16499) measuring 11.5 x 10 x 6 inches with precise technical specifications. The VA intends to negotiate directly with USVETSERV, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for these specialized cooler boxes. The sole source procurement is being justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-2, which allows for unique procurement circumstances.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to procure temperature-controlled shipping boxes that can maintain a kinetic temperature at or below 45 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 48 hours. The boxes require specific technical characteristics, including a 1.5-inch thick insulation layer, kraft board grade 200LB DC, a weather-resistant adhesive strip, and a tear-away zipper. The procurement is time-sensitive, with the Special Notice posted on March 21, 2025, and responses due by March 24, 2025. Eligible contractors are encouraged to review the detailed specifications and can contact the Network Contracting Office 15 via email if they believe they can provide an alternative product that meets the technical requirements. While USVETSERV, LLC is currently the intended sole source vendor, the VA remains open to considering alternative submissions that can demonstrate equivalent or superior capabilities for these specialized shipping containers.
