J--Software Support for Endoworks System Olympus America, Inc.

The Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla, Washington, is planning to negotiate a sole source contract with Olympus America, Inc. for the renewal of two software licenses and related support services for the Endoworks System. This proprietary software integrates with existing VA computer systems, and support must be provided by certified Olympus technicians either remotely via VPN or help desk, or onsite as required. The contract will cover a base period plus four option years, which the government may exercise at its discretion. The procurement will follow FAR Part 13 procedures, limiting negotiation to a single source under FAR 6.302 due to the specialized nature of the software. While this notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, interested parties with relevant capabilities may express their interest within 10 calendar days from the notice's publication. The government’s decision to proceed without competition will be informed by any responses received and remains at its sole discretion. Vendors must be registered in the appropriate government databases to be considered. The contract is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and categorized under the NAICS code 339113, related to medical equipment manufacturing. Further details and contact information are available through the VA contracting office.
