AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contract Office 21, intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Steris Corporation for full-service preventative maintenance of Amsco and Reliance sterilizers across the VA Northern California Health Care System, citing 41 USC §3304(a)(1) and FAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii) to justify the absence of competition due to the unique nature of the required services and the exclusive capability of the sole source. The notification explicitly states this is not a request for competitive bids, but a solicitation for potential responders to demonstrate their capacity to fulfill the requirement, with all submissions evaluated at the government’s sole discretion and no obligation to open competition regardless of responses received. The NAICS code is 811210 with a $34 million size standard, and the response deadline is July 29, 2026, at 4 p.m. PST, with all correspondence required to reference solicitation number 36C26126Q1023 and be sent to parmpreet.pannu@va.gov. To be considered responsive, potential offerors must provide comprehensive details including their socioeconomic status, UEI and/or CAGE code, demonstrated experience with identical or similar preventative maintenance services, a list of comparable government and commercial projects, any planned subcontracting arrangements compliant with FAR and VAAR limitations, an active GSA contract number if applicable, a formal authorization letter from Steris Corporation permitting service performance, and pricing aligned with the draft performance work statement. All respondents must maintain current SAM registration and, if claiming small business, VOSB, or SDVOSB status, must hold current VetCert certification from the SBA. Failure to submit any of the eight required elements will result in a non-responsive determination, and only those meeting all criteria will be assessed for potential inclusion in the government’s decision-making process, though selection remains entirely at the government’s discretion without obligation to procure from any respondent.
