The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 23, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Abbott Laboratories Inc for the service, maintenance, and software support of the EnSite X system. This action is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b), as the EnSite X system’s service plan is proprietary and no other third-party vendor is authorized to install or service the equipment. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 811210 and product service code J065, and the place of performance is identified as Minneapolis, Minnesota. Although this notice is not a solicitation and does not obligate the government to award a contract, it serves to inform the public of the anticipated sole source award and invites other responsible sources to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement. Interested vendors may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations to joseph.bloomer@va.gov no later than seven calendar days after the notice’s publication date of August 6, 2026, with a response deadline of August 16, 2026. The government will evaluate all submissions solely to determine whether the requirement can be met through competitive means, but retains full discretion to proceed with the sole source award regardless of responses received. The contracting officer, Joey Bloomer, may be contacted for further information. No set-aside provisions apply to this action, and the procurement is not open to competitive bidding unless compelling evidence is presented that alternative capable sources exist.
