AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs Buffalo VAMC plans to award a sole source contract to Parabit Systems Inc. for the purchase of three Law Enforcement Officer podiums, with two being ballistic rated and one non-ballistic. Each podium will feature the VA logo on the front, and the specific models intended for procurement are the Parabit M-300-10110-BR and Parabit M-300-10110. Parabit Systems Inc., located in Bellmore, NY, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the sole distributor of these podiums, which justifies the sole source procurement process as no other Law Enforcement Officer podiums have been authorized for use. The Buffalo VA Medical Center requires these podiums due to their superior aesthetic, fit, and finish that provide consistency and interchangeable parts within the facility. These podiums are custom made from powder-coated metal, unlike competing products that are solely wood, supporting seamless integration and reducing training requirements for officers. The contract solicitation number is 36C24226Q0561 with a response deadline of May 15, 2026, and the contracting agency is the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contract Office 02 in Albany, NY. The point of contact for this procurement is Contract Specialist Barry Sawyer.

Full Description
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.
