AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 17, plans to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Abbott Laboratories for laboratory testing services at the South Texas Veterans Health Care System in San Antonio, Texas. The contract is justified under the statutory authority that allows for non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will meet the agency’s requirements. Abbott Laboratories is the sole proprietary manufacturer of the required testing items, which are specifically compatible with the existing equipment in use at the medical center. The contract period is set from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015. Although this is not a solicitation or request for offers, any vendor confident in their ability to fulfill the government’s requirements may submit written notifications by email by June 20, 2014, at 12 pm CDT. Such responses will be considered only to determine if a competitive procurement might be warranted. The decision to pursue competition or proceed with the sole source contract rests entirely with the Contracting Officer. Vendors must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government to influence this determination. No telephone inquiries will be accepted, and the contract uses NAICS code 541380.
