The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, intends to award a firm-fixed price, brand name only contract for Vocera badges and accessories to support VISN 23 medical centers, leveraging the authority under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 to justify sole source procurement due to the unique interoperability of Vocera equipment, where any alternative brand would necessitate a complete system replacement. This action is being conducted as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside under NAICS code 334290 and Product Service Code 5895, and while it is not a formal solicitation, interested vendors must demonstrate their authorization by providing official certification from the Original Equipment Manufacturer proving their ability to distribute Vocera products and deliver third-party services for the badges and associated equipment. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement to the agency, but any vendor seeking to challenge the brand name justification must do so in writing to curt.larose@va.gov within ten calendar days of the notice’s publication, with submissions reviewed solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is feasible. The contracting officer, Curt LaRose, is the sole point of contact, and the response deadline for any intent to compete is June 22, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Central Time; however, no pricing, delivery schedule, or contract value has been disclosed as this is a presolicitation notice under FAR 5.101(a) designed to gather market input prior to finalizing the procurement approach.

Full Description

This is a Notice of Intent published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101(a) requiring the dissemination of information regarding proposed contract actions. This Notice of Intent is for a proposed award of a name brand only source, firm-fixed price contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Service Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. It is not a request for competitive quotes. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23 intends to award a brand name only, firm-fixed price contract for Vocera badges and accessories for VISN 23 medical centers. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334290 and the service code is 5895. While this synopsis does not constitute a solicitation, interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to satisfy the requirement. Any interested vendors MUST provide proof of certification from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) that they are authorized to distribute Vocera brand cards and provide third party services for the badges and equipment. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which will be considered by the agency. The Government understands that Vocera badges and equipment would provide the Government the best value as any other brand would require an entire swap out of equipment. However, vendors that believe they can provide the capabilities required to fully meet the Government's requirement may submit information in writing to curt.larose@va.gov within ten calendar days after publication of this notice. Such documentation will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis. A determination not to compete other brand names for this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
