5830--Carrot C-Com Pro Audio Intercom System

The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting quotes for a Pro Audio Intercom System and its installation at the West Roxbury VA Medical Center in Massachusetts, under a combined synopsis/solicitation issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) using Simplified Acquisition Procedures per FAR Part 12. The procurement is unrestricted and brand name or equal, with the NAICS code 334290 and FSC/PSC 5830, and is a total small business set-aside. Respondents must submit quotes for one unit of the Pro Audio System and one unit of installation service, with delivery required no later than 60 days after order receipt. Quotes must include complete information such as the Unique Entity Identifier, EFT details, and a clear statement of agreement with all solicitation terms or any exceptions with rationale. The offering period closes on July 29, 2026, at 7:00 AM EST, and late submissions will not be considered unless exceptional circumstances apply. Award will be made to the quotation most advantageous to the government based on a four-factor evaluation: Technical or Quality, Past Performance, Veterans Involvement, and Price. The VA will conduct a comparative evaluation, weighing all factors collectively and reserving the right to select a higher-priced offer if it provides greater overall value. Veterans Involvement receives specific credit for prime contractors registered as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) verified in the SBA database, and subcontracting with such entities earns partial consideration. All quotes must comply with FAR and VAAR clauses, including Buy American requirements, cybersecurity standards, prohibitions on confidential non-disclosure agreements, and EFT payment terms. The Contracting Officer may conduct debriefings and reserves the right to waive minor irregularities. Responses must be emailed to Julie Lemire at Julie.Lemire1@va.gov, and all entities must be current in SAM registration with applicable certifications submitted directly in the quote, not through SAM.
