6515--528-23-2-8210-0010 | 36C242-23-AP-1662 528A8 Albany ArcCheck (VA-23-00058964) Sole Source Notice

The Department of Veterans Affairs Buffalo VAMC plans to award a firm fixed price sole-source contract to SUN NUCLEAR CORP., located in Melbourne, Florida, for a Patient Quality Assurance (QA) device compatible with their existing software and hardware setup. The contract stems from the necessity to maintain compatibility with current equipment, as no other QA devices would function with the VA’s existing cables and electrometers. Procuring a different system would require purchasing an entirely new software platform, leading to significantly higher costs. Due to these constraints, no further research into alternative systems was conducted. This contract, identified under solicitation number 36C24223P0861 and titled Albany ArcCheck (VA-23-00058964), falls under NAICS code 334517 and will be managed by the 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02 based in Albany, New York. The sole source notice was posted on April 12, 2023, and the contracting officer overseeing the process is Corey Swinton. This action is an open market sole-source procurement aimed at acquiring specific equipment necessary for patient QA activities at the Buffalo VAMC without soliciting competitive quotes.
