65--Intent to Sole Source SureKap SK6000-BF6 Automatic 6 Spindle Capper

The Department of Veterans Affairs, National Acquisition Center, Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy Division, plans to issue a sole source solicitation to SureKap, Inc. for the procurement of a SureKap SK6000-BF6 Automatic 6 Spindle Rotary Capper. This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i), which allows for sole source procurement when only one responsible source can fulfill the requirements. The relevant NAICS code is 333993, with the Small Business Administration size standard set at 500 employees. This solicitation is not open for competitive quotes, and no solicitation document is available; requests for solicitation via telephone will not be accepted. While this notice indicates intent to sole source, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements may submit a written notification within five calendar days from the notice’s publication. Such notifications must include supporting evidence demonstrating the ability to meet the procurement requirements and must not exceed five pages in length. Submissions should be sent via email to Karen Rhodes, the designated contract specialist. The government will review any responses but retains sole discretion to proceed with the sole source contract to SureKap, Inc., located in Winder, Georgia, if no qualified competing interests are raised. If there are no responses or if the government determines not to compete, the contract will be awarded directly to SureKap for performance managed out of the VA office in Hines, Illinois.
