J065--NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Teleflex service contract VA Sierra Nevada Healthcare System

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 21, intends to award a sole-source Firm-Fixed Price contract to Teleflex LLC for the preventive maintenance, calibration, and repair of AC3 Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps at the VA Sierra Nevada Healthcare System in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The contract, with a base period and four option years, will run from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, and is being awarded without competition due to the exclusive authorization of Teleflex as the Original Equipment Manufacturer. Only Teleflex-certified technicians are permitted to service the equipment, and the OEM guarantees performance solely when work is performed by its authorized personnel, making all other providers ineligible. The contract is structured as a sole-source acquisition under NAICS code 811210 with solicitation number 36C26126Q0721, and the intended award date is June 15, 2026. All service delivery must occur at the VASNHCS facility, and the government will accept no substitutes or third-party service providers regardless of capability. Interested parties may respond to this notice by submitting an authorized letter of interest and capability to John Waldrip, Contract Specialist, via email at john.waldrip@va.gov by 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time on May 20, 2026. Respondents must clearly indicate their business size classification—whether large, small, small-disadvantaged, 8(a), woman-owned—or if they are U.S. or foreign owned, and must label any proprietary information appropriately. No payment will be provided for submissions, and this announcement does not obligate the government to proceed with acquisition. No formal evaluation factors, pricing data, inspection criteria, or detailed contract clauses are included in the notice, as it serves only as a sources-sought synopsis. The primary point of contact is John D. Waldrip III, and all communication must be via email; telephone inquiries are discouraged. The contract does not involve delivery of goods, so FOB terms or packaging specifications are not applicable, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical personnel are explicitly designated beyond the primary contracting officer.
