J--Canon X-Ray Maintenance

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 9 intends to enter into a sole source contract with Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. to provide maintenance support and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts for government-owned Canon X-Ray systems within the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System. This sole source acquisition is justified because Canon is the only responsible source capable of delivering the necessary maintenance without voiding existing warranties. The contract is expected to begin around September 30, 2019, with a performance period of one base year plus four option years, classified under NAICS code 811219 with a small business standard of $20.5 million. While this notice is not a request for offers, the government invites all responsible sources to submit capability statements and a letter from Canon confirming that warranties will remain intact if maintenance is conducted by entities other than Canon. Technicians providing maintenance must be OEM-certified and use only OEM-approved parts and software, ensuring compliance with OEM licensing, warranty, and service conditions. Capability statements must be submitted via email by August 2, 2019, and the government will use the information solely to determine whether to pursue competitive procurement, retaining sole discretion over the decision not to compete.
