The Department of Veterans Affairs Buffalo VAMC intends to award a sole source contract to Parabit Systems Inc. for the purchase of three custom Law Enforcement Officer podiums—two ballistic-rated (Parabit M-300-10110-BR) and one non-ballistic-rated (Parabit M-300-10110)—to be installed at its facility in Buffalo, New York. The procurement is justified under FAR 12.201-1 due to the proprietary nature of the product, as Parabit Systems Inc. is the exclusive original equipment manufacturer and sole distributor with no other Letters of Authorization granted; no alternative vendors offer podiums with the same powder-coated metal construction, ADA-compliant design, and seamless integration with existing VA infrastructure. The podiums must feature the official VA logo and exclude wood-based alternatives to ensure durability, operational continuity, and reduced training burden for law enforcement personnel. The estimated contract value is $97,250, with delivery required at the Buffalo VAMC located at 3495 Bailey Avenue, and the contract is classified as an open market action under NAICS code 334290. Parabit Systems Inc. is confirmed as a small business, SBA certified, with no additional socioeconomic designations identified. The solicitation, numbered 36C24226Q0561, was posted on May 5, 2026, with responses due by May 15, 2026, and no formal competitive evaluation factors, contract clauses, packaging specifications, invoicing instructions, or COR/COTR assignments were included in the documentation. The contracting officer has certified the sole source justification, and the award will be made without competition based on technical uniqueness, OEM exclusivity, and compatibility with current systems.

Full Description

This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract and is not a request for quotes. The Department of Veterans Affairs Buffalo VAMC intends to award a Sole Source open market action contract for the purchase of 3 Law Enforcement Officer podiums, 2 of which will be ballistic rated and 1 non-ballistic rated. VA logo will be displayed on the front of each. The VA intends for this purchase to be the Parabit M-300-10110-BR and Parabit M-300-10110. Name of Contractor: Parabit Systems Inc. Street Address: 2677 Grand Ave City, State, Zip: Bellmore, NY 11710
The Buffalo Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center located at 3495 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo NY; 14215-1129 is requesting these Parabit Systems Law Enforcement Officer Podiums because they offer the correct aesthetics, fit, and finish providing continuity and interchangeable parts for the Buffalo VA Medical Center. They are custom made from powder coated metal while the other manufacturers are offering products that are exclusively made from wood products. This will allow the VA Medical Center seamless continuity within the facility and less officer training.
Parabit Systems Inc. is the OEM of the item and sole distributor. No other LOA s have been granted, thus the need for a sole source award.
