Olympus GI Scope Service Contract

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 6, intends to sole source a service contract under solicitation 36C24626Q0370 for the preventative maintenance and repair of Government-owned Olympus gastrointestinal scopes at the Durham VA Medical Center in North Carolina. The contract is planned for a performance period from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, and falls under NAICS code 811210. Due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and the need to preserve manufacturer warranties and regulatory compliance, the government intends to solicit only Olympus America Inc. under restricted competition procedures. The scope of work requires the vendor to provide all labor, parts, and supplies necessary to maintain operational readiness and restore equipment to original equipment manufacturer specifications. A critical requirement of this contract is the strict prohibition of gray market or remanufactured components; the vendor must be an OEM, authorized dealer, distributor, or reseller and provide official documentation of this status. Delivery of unauthorized parts is considered a material breach, allowing the VA to terminate the contract or require replacement at no cost. Inspection and acceptance of all services will occur on-site at the Durham VA Medical Center.
