The Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC) plans to negotiate a sole source delivery order with Dell Federal Systems L.P. under a General Services Administration (GSA) contract for Howard Point of Care LCD Carts. These carts are intended to match the existing units currently installed at the Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center in Tomah, Wisconsin. Dell Federal Systems L.P. is the only vendor able to supply the compatible product via GSA, ensuring seamless integration with the current system. The procurement follows the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6 Limited Source Justification and Approval, confirming that no alternative vendor can meet the agency's requirements. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price agreement with delivery terms designated as F.O.B. Destination. The solicitation is identified as VA69D11RQ1480 and was posted on September 12, 2011, under the NAICS code 423430. The contracting office handling this acquisition is the Department of Veterans Affairs' Network Contract Office 12, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This sole source procurement approach highlights the need for compatibility and continuity with existing medical equipment at the VA facility while adhering to strict federal acquisition policies.
