The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Philips Healthcare for the procurement of a proprietary Philips x5-1c transducer. This action is justified under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b), which permits sole source awards when only one responsible source can meet the agency's needs.

Market research confirms that Philips is the sole developer and distributor capable of providing the required equipment, which is critical for the VA’s security services for veterans. While this notice does not constitute a solicitation, interested vendors are invited to submit capability statements or proposals by October 6, 2025, to demonstrate their ability to fulfill the requirement. The VA will review submissions solely to determine if a competitive procurement should be pursued, although the agency recognizes Philips Healthcare as the only vendor capable of supplying the necessary equipment.

This is a Notice of Intent published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101(a)(1) requiring the dissemination of information regarding proposed contract actions. This Notice of Intent is for a proposed award of a sole source, firm-fixed price contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Service Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. It is not a request for competitive quotes. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23 intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Philips Healthcare as Philips Healthcare has proprietary ownership of the Philips x5-1c transducer. Any new equipment that is purchased and installed as part of this contract would need to be able to integrate with the existing system. Philips Healthcare is the only source that can provide the Sioux Falls VA with the necessary equipment. VA requires the proprietary Philips x5-1c transducer, by Philips Healthcare in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Service Will Satisfy Agency Requirements because the software and services are unique or proprietary to Philips Healthcare. Market research revealed that Philips Healthcare is the proprietary developer and distributor for the equipment currently being utilized by VA. The software system is routinely used by VA to provide security services for veterans in the VA Healthcare System. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334517 and the service code is 6525. While this synopsis does not constitute a solicitation, interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to satisfy the requirement. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. The Government understands that Philips Healthcare is the only vendor that can provide the requested supplies. However, vendors that believe they can provide the capabilities required to fully meet the Government's requirement may submit information in writing to contact@example.gov by October 6, 2025. Such documentation will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
