65--Hospital Scrubs/Clothing - Notice of Contract Action

The Miami VA Contracting office intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Nursing Success Unlimited for the purchase of hospital clothing and scrubs. This procurement will be conducted using other than competitive procedures specifically targeting verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), as authorized by VA regulations. The estimated value of the contract is less than $40,000, with an anticipated award date on or before August 6, 2019. This notice is not a solicitation but an advisory to interested parties that responsible sources may submit quotes or capability statements for consideration, although submission does not obligate the agency in any way. All responses must be submitted in writing via email by 5:00 pm EST on August 1, 2019, with no reimbursement provided for any costs incurred in response to this notice or any follow-up requests. The contract relates to NAICS code 339113, involving hospital clothing supply, and aims to leverage a verified SDVOSB as a sole source to fulfill this requirement. This approach supports the VA's goal to facilitate contracting opportunities for veteran-owned businesses while meeting operational needs efficiently.
