About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA), Healthcare Contracting Division - West has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Supply Contract (HT941026N0045) for automated endoscope reprocessing equipment. This special notice announces the Government's intention to award STERIS Corporation a firm fixed price supply contract without competitive bidding. The procurement is valued under the simplified acquisition threshold and is being pursued as a sole source acquisition because STERIS is identified as the only manufacturer capable of meeting the Government's specific requirements. The contract involves the supply and installation of medical equipment across two OCONUS military medical facilities. This notice provides other potential vendors with an opportunity to submit capability statements before the Government proceeds with the sole source award.
The objective of this procurement is to acquire three Steris Medivators Advantage Plus Automated Endoscope Reprocessor units—two Model ADV1007 units with 2-year service agreements for Naval Medical Center San Diego and one Model ADV1008 unit with a 1-year service agreement for the 374th Medical Group at Yokota Air Base, Japan—along with installation, accessories, consumables, and deinstallation of existing equipment. Interested vendors must submit capability statements not exceeding six pages by 1000 Pacific Daylight Time on April 20, 2026, to Cha-on P. Gordon at chaon.p.gordon2.civ@health.mil, with the Government using these submissions to determine whether to proceed competitively or award to STERIS. The NAICS code is 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) with an 800-employee size standard, and the PSC is 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). The Government emphasizes that the STERIS system is the only AER compatible with the existing inventory of Storz, Pentax, and Olympus endoscopes and is expected to increase reprocessing efficiency by approximately 30 percent, with scheduled delivery on June 1, 2026.
