AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 19, plans to sole source a maintenance service contract to Abiomed, Inc. for two Abiomed Impella AIC Console systems, serial numbers IC3274 and IC3276, installed at the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado. This procurement is justified under FAR 12.102(a) due to the proprietary and highly specialized nature of the Impella AIC Console, which permits maintenance, calibration, repair, and technical support exclusively by the original equipment manufacturer. Only Abiomed-trained technicians using proprietary software, diagnostic tools, and OEM-certified replacement parts can legally and safely perform these services, making competition impossible without compromising patient safety and regulatory compliance. The contract includes a base year running from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2027, with four one-year option periods extending service through September 29, 2031, each structured as separate line items with no pricing disclosed. The contract incorporates FAR 52.217-8, allowing for potential six-month extensions under the same rates, and all services are required to be performed directly by Abiomed without subcontracting. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 with a size standard of $34 million, and Abiomed, Inc. is confirmed as a large business. The place of performance is the VA Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado, where the consoles are in active clinical use, and all maintenance activities must ensure uninterrupted operation to avoid life-threatening disruptions. No formal packaging, labeling, preservation, or inspection criteria are specified beyond the requirement that all work adheres strictly to Abiomed’s proprietary procedures. The contracting office in Greenwood Village, Colorado, manages the contract and is the point of contact for inquiries, with Lynn Lim serving as the primary point of contact for responses. Interested parties may submit documentation demonstrating capability through email to lynn.lim@va.gov by 12:00 PM Mountain Time on May 8, 2026, though submission is voluntary and does not obligate the government to pursue competition. No monetary value, invoicing procedures, accounting codes, or COR/COTR designations are disclosed, and the contract will be administered without competitive evaluation, relying entirely on market research and the technical exclusivity of the OEM’s services.
