6515--Urgent Washer-Disinfector CS: Maureen Sundstrom

The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to issue a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Trillamed, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for the urgent replacement of a Getinge Washer Disinfector. This equipment, critical for daily patient sample testing, requires immediate replacement to prevent significant disruptions in patient care at the Portland VA Medical Center Healthcare System in Vancouver, Washington. The original equipment manufacturer has designated Trillamed, LLC as the exclusive distributor authorized to provide this specific washer-disinfector, which justifies the sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-2(a)(2). The contract, aligned with NAICS code 339113, is anticipated to be awarded by January 4, 2024. This notice serves to fulfill the requirement to publicize the Government’s intent to award a non-competitive contract and is not a solicitation for competitive proposals; no request for bids or offers will be issued. Any responses received are solely for market research and will not be compensated or influence the procurement decision. Maureen Sundstrom, the Contract Specialist, is the point of contact for this procurement. The procurement is managed under the 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 (36C260) at the VA, ensuring federal acquisition regulations are followed in this emergency acquisition to maintain vital healthcare services.
