About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (VISN05) Baltimore Medical Center issued a single source justification notice on April 20, 2026, to modify an existing contract for the lease and operation of gastrointestinal (GI) and pulmonary scope equipment at the facility. The justification for the sole source award to Olympus America Inc. was based on the critical nature of the equipment currently in operation; removing it would result in adverse patient events and work stoppage for essential surgical procedures. Due to the emergency circumstances surrounding potential veteran patient safety issues, no market research was conducted prior to the award decision. Olympus America Inc. was awarded contract modification 36C24521C0084 in the amount of $27,407.69 on April 20, 2026, with an estimated total project value of $164,000 for evaluating and pricing options to extend the existing scope lease services. This acquisition fell under Product Service Code W066 (Lease or Rental of Equipment—Instruments and Laboratory Equipment) and NAICS Code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), and was processed under FAR 13.106-1(b) authority for single source awards not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.
