AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs is preparing to issue a sole source contract for Triennial Electrical Testing and Maintenance services, recognizing J&B Hartigan as the only authorized provider capable of performing the required high voltage testing onsite without removing or transporting facility breakers. This approach is critical to avoid excessive costs, operational disruptions, and delays that would compromise the continuity of patient care, as offsite testing by other vendors would introduce unacceptable duplication of effort and risk. The requirement stems from a prior contract and is grounded in market research and acquisition history that confirms no other supplier can meet the technical and operational standards without negatively impacting VA facilities. The work falls under NAICS code 238210 and PSC H961, focusing on electrical wire and power distribution equipment inspection and testing. Interested parties may submit written responses by 10:00 a.m. EDT on August 4, 2026, to lakeva.cousins@va.gov, providing detailed evidence of their ability to perform the service, including company name, address, point of contact, phone number, SAM Unique Entity ID, and official authorization documents proving manufacturer endorsement as an authorized dealer, distributor, or reseller. No solicitation documents are available, and phone inquiries will not be accepted. While submissions will be reviewed, the Government retains full discretion to determine whether competition is warranted and will not be obligated to alter its sole source decision based on any responses received. The official notice was posted on July 28, 2026, and the response deadline for formal submissions is August 11, 2026, with the contracting office located in Hampton, Virginia.

Full Description
The Triennial electrical testing is a specialized high voltage service. J&B Hartigan performs all work onsite and does not remove facility breakers for offsite testing. Removing, transporting, testing, and reinstalling breakers is a lengthy process that would create significant duplication of cost and operational disruption. Utilizing any other supplier would result in costs that cannot be recovered through competition and would introduce delays that impact continuity of patient care. This requirement is also a follow-on action to a previous contract.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Market research and previous acquisition history have determined that these services can only be obtained from a single source without unacceptable duplication of cost or adverse impact to patient care operations.
No solicitation documents are available, and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, any business that believes it can provide the services for the Triennial Electrical Testing & Maintenance may give written notice to lakeva.cousins@va.gov, by 10:00am EDT on August 4, 2026. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirement. Interested and capable respondents are requested to provide the information below. All responses to this notice shall include: company name, address, point of contact, phone number, System for Award (SAMs) Unique Entity Id Number (UEI), manufacturer authorization letter, authorized dealer, authorized distributor, or authorized reseller documentation. Responses will be considered by the Government; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
NAICS Code: 238210 Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors. PSC: H961 Other Quality Control, Testing, and Inspection Electrical Wire and Power Distribution Equipment.
