6525--NOI Sole Source - SITERITE ULTRASOUND

The Network Contracting Office 16, supporting the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System, plans to award a Sole Source, Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions (VHSS), a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business. This contract involves upgrading the SPECTRALIS Software (HEYEX2) under the NAICS code 339113, which corresponds to Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing, with a size standard of 800 employees. The procurement follows specific Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines and is not a request for competitive quotes but a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source, with an anticipated contract award date of June 5, 2026. While this notice is primarily informational, interested vendors who believe they can provide a competitive solution are invited to submit a letter of interest within 15 days of the notice's publication. Responses must include technical expertise, evidence of OEM authorization for software upgrades, and personnel certifications demonstrating qualifications to service the SPECTRALIS system. Submissions should be sent via email to the designated Contract Specialist by May 29, 2026, and late or phone inquiries will not be considered. The Government retains sole discretion to decide whether competition would be beneficial and may request additional documentation to support any claims made by responding parties.
