About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 has published a Notice of Intent for a sole source contract award to Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. for a Candelis Upgrade and Installation at the Iowa City VA Health Care System. This special notice is issued under Federal Acquisition Regulation 5.101(a)(1) to announce the proposed award of a firm-fixed-price contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which allows for sole source procurement when only one supplier can satisfy agency requirements. The contract falls under NAICS code 423450 for Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers and PSC code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. Market research determined that Siemens is the only company capable of maintaining and supporting the required Candelis system upgrade for the VA facility.
The primary purpose of this notice is to provide transparency regarding the proposed sole source award while allowing other potential contractors to demonstrate their capability to perform the work. Interested vendors have until June 25, 2025, to submit capability statements and supporting documentation to Emanuel Nevarez at emanuel.nevarez@va.gov, with the subject line "36C26325Q0907 Siemens Candelis Upgrade & Install." To be considered eligible, contractors must provide documentation from Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. proving they are authorized resellers, dealers, or third parties capable of providing the service. The work involves upgrading and installing Candelis ImageGrid hardware and software, including migrating DICOM studies from old to new systems, and must be performed during normal VA business hours. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct the procurement competitively based on responses received, and this notice does not constitute a formal solicitation for quotes.
