The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 23, plans to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Fidelis Sustainability Distribution, LLC for patient lift equipment specifically designed for the Iowa City Health Care System. This contract aligns with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision allowing sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy the agency’s requirements. The equipment must be compatible with the existing Fidelis ceiling rails already installed at the facility, ensuring no loss of warranty or safety features. The contract falls under NAICS code 339113 with a service code of 6515 and addresses the specialized needs of the patient transfer aids ceiling lifts. Although this notice does not constitute a solicitation or request for competitive quotes, the agency invites other vendors who believe they can meet the requirements, including seamless integration with the existing Fidelis system, to submit capability statements for consideration within ten calendar days of the notice publication. Any submitted information will be evaluated to determine if the procurement can be opened to competition. However, the agency acknowledges that Fidelis is currently the only known capable vendor. The contracting officer, Curt LaRose, serves as the point of contact for submissions and inquiries. The deadline for responses is June 15, 2026, and the contract's firm-fixed pricing structure and sole source justification emphasize the specialized nature and critical compatibility requirements of the needed patient lift equipment.
