J065--OPTIS PM Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 7, intends to award a sole-source, firm fixed-price contract to Abbott Laboratories for preventative maintenance services on the OPTIS Integrated Next Generation system at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina. This action is justified under FAR 6.103-1, which permits non-competitive contracting when only one responsible source is available to meet the requirement, and a formal justification has been prepared. The contract will have a base year with the potential for four one-year option periods, extending the total performance period to five years. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 811210, classifying it under other miscellaneous repair and maintenance services. No solicitation package is available, and this notice serves only as a sources-sought announcement to allow interested parties the opportunity to demonstrate that full and open competition would be advantageous to the government. Responses must be submitted via email to Quentin.Deloney2@va.gov no later than 12:00 p.m. EST on Friday, May 15, 2026, with no telephone inquiries or emails seeking clarification accepted. The contracting officer is Quentin Deloney, who also serves as the primary point of contact for all matters relating to this procurement. Payment and administrative functions are managed through the VA’s Network Contracting Office 7, located in Augusta, Georgia, with no additional contract administration details such as accounting codes, COR/COTR assignments, or invoicing systems specified. The contract scope is limited to preventative maintenance without detailed performance metrics, deliverables, or technical specifications provided in the documentation. Place of performance is clearly defined as the Charleston medical center, and while the contract type is firm fixed price, no line-item pricing, CLINs, or estimated value are disclosed. No attachments, clause language, evaluation factors, representations or certifications, packaging requirements, or inspection criteria are included in the available materials, reflecting the preliminary and non-competitive nature of this notice.
