J065--Carefusion Pyxis Rental and Support Agreement

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 10, intends to award a sole-source contract under FAR 6.302-1 to Becton, Dickinson and Company for the Carefusion Pyxis Rental and Service Agreement, which provides rental and maintenance support for electronic medical equipment at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The requirement falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, and the agency has determined that only this vendor possesses the unique capability to fulfill the requirement, justifying non-competitive procurement. This notice serves as a pre-solicitation notice under FAR 5.207 to allow other responsible sources an opportunity to submit capability statements with clear and convincing evidence demonstrating their ability to meet the requirement and to show why competition would be advantageous, though no payment will be made for such submissions and the government retains full discretion over the decision not to compete. The solicitation number is 36C25026Q0577, posted on May 13, 2026, with all responses due by 2:00 PM EST on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, submitted exclusively via email to Chad Kemper, the Contracting Officer. No contract value, pricing details, period of performance dates, or delivery schedules are specified, and the agreement does not include any identified evaluation factors, contract clauses, packaging or marking requirements, inspection criteria, or special conditions beyond the sole-source justification. The place of performance is clearly identified as the Cleveland VA Medical Center, and while the contracting office address is provided, no contracting officer’s representative, technical representative, or payment instructions are detailed. The procurement is not set aside for any socioeconomic category, and no representations, certifications, or affirmative disclosures are required or included in the notice.
