W065--Technegas Lease - Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Network Contracting Office 17 has published a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement for the lease and installation of Technegas Plus System equipment at the South Texas Veterans Health Care System in San Antonio, Texas. The agency intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to Cyclomedica USA, LLC for a 12-month installation and lease of the TechnegasA Plus System, along with access and service agreements and service packs. The contract includes four one-year option periods and is anticipated to run from November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2026. The procurement is being conducted under sole source authorities citing that only one responsible source exists that can satisfy the agency's requirements. This special notice falls under the NAICS category for commercial and industrial machinery rental and leasing, specifically medical equipment.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the marketplace of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities. Any responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within seven days of the notice publication date of September 12, 2025, with responses due by September 19, 2025. The government will use any received proposals to determine if comparable sources are available that might be more advantageous to the government than the intended sole source award. Contractors do not need to meet specific eligibility criteria beyond being responsible sources capable of providing equivalent services. If no affirmative written responses are received within the seven-day timeframe, the contract will be issued to Cyclomedica USA, LLC without further notice. This notice explicitly states it is not a request for quotations or proposals, and no contract will be awarded based solely on responses to this announcement.
