AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the James J. Peters VA Medical Center, plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Innovive, LLC for the Innorack® ventilated caging system used in their Research Service and Veterinary Medical Unit. This decision is based on the fact that the Innovive Innorack® system is proprietary, with the full cage rack system currently in use, and only Innovive, as the manufacturer and sole distributor, can provide compatible disposable caging necessary during ongoing facility renovations. The ventilated caging system is uniquely compatible with the existing setup, making it essential for continuity and operational integrity. Although this notice is not a solicitation for competitive bids, the VA allows other original equipment manufacturers, authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers who believe they can meet the requirements to submit capability statements by August 5, 2021. These statements must be directed to Contract Specialist Shannon Hukriede via email, with no phone inquiries accepted. The VA retains full discretion to decide whether to proceed without competition based on the responses. The contract is identified under solicitation number 36C24E21Q0198 and falls under NAICS code 339999, managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs office in Pittsburgh, PA.
