About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract with The Geneva Foundation for technical research support on a funded VA Merit Award, with responses due by September 9, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST. This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source under FAR 6.302-1; no competitive solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov.
The requirement supports ongoing pre-clinical research at White River Junction VA Healthcare System, encompassing method optimization, experimental planning, troubleshooting, technical support, model refinement, data analyses and interpretation, quarterly scientific team meetings, and manuscript preparation and scientific dissemination. The Geneva Foundation is deemed the only responsible source due to its established scientific collaboration with the VA on this ongoing research, specialized expertise in project protocols and experimental models, and institutional knowledge necessary to maintain study continuity. Replacing the existing support would require significant time to develop specialized knowledge and could result in delays, increased costs, and disruption to research integrity.
Interested parties may submit responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. All responses must be emailed to the Contracting Officer; telephonic inquiries will not be accepted. NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences); size standard 1,000 employees; PSC AN41 (Health R&D Services).
Notice text
Notice of Intent to Sole Source Requirement
This Notice of Intent to Sole Source is not a solicitation. This is not a request for quotes. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract with: The Geneva Foundation.
Description:
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract with The Geneva Foundation to provide technical research support for the funded VA Merit Award. The requirement supports ongoing collaborative pre-clinical research at the White River Junction VA Healthcare System and includes method optimization, experimental planning, troubleshooting, technical support, model refinement, data analyses and interpretation, quarterly scientific team meetings, and manuscript preparation and scientific dissemination. The Geneva Foundation is uniquely qualified to provide these services because of its established scientific collaboration with the VA on this ongoing research and the specialized expertise and knowledge of the project protocols, experimental models, and scientific objectives required to maintain continuity of the VA-funded study. Replacing the existing technical research support would require significant time to develop the specialized knowledge necessary to support the research and could result in delays, increased costs, and disruption to the continuity and integrity of the study. Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. It is not a solicitation or request for offers and no solicitation will be posted to Contracting Opportunities on SAM.gov.
The authority for this action is FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The NAICS is 541715. The size is 1,000 employees. The PSC/FSC is AN41.
Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must be received no later than the date on the annoucement.
