J065--SPECIAL NOTICE: Hospital Bed and Stretcher Preventative Maintenance and Repair

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting a sole-source procurement under statutory authority Public Law 109 Sec. 502 and VAAR 819.7008 to award a contract to Emeritus Clinical Solutions Inc., a certified and verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, for preventative maintenance and repair of hospital beds and stretchers at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. This action does not require a determination that only one SDVOSB can fulfill the requirement, but it does necessitate compliance with specific regulatory criteria, including synopsization of the requirement and posting of a written justification in accordance with FAR Part 5, FAR 6.302-5(c)(2)(ii), and supporting documentation under FAR 6.303 and 6.304. The contract value is capped at $5 million, inclusive of all options, and the award must be made at a fair and reasonable price that provides best value to the government, as determined solely by the contracting officer without competitive evaluation. The contractor must be verified in the VetCert database and deemed responsible for performance, and the requirement cannot be artificially subdivided to circumvent the $5 million ceiling. The contract is non-competitive and does not involve formal evaluation factors, pricing breakdowns, or technical specifications for deliverables, packaging, or marking. The scope of work centers on maintaining and repairing medical equipment at the specified facility, with performance occurring entirely on-site. No period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or invoicing method are detailed in the documentation. The contracting officer, operating under the authority of the 252-NETWORK Contract Office 12 located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is solely responsible for ensuring the award complies with all regulatory requirements. Laura Broacha, Contract Specialist, serves as the primary point of contact for administrative inquiries, though no official designation as the contracting officer, COR, or COTR is provided. The procurement relies entirely on the statutory framework for SDVOSB sole-source awards, with no competitive elements, and no additional security, key personnel, or organizational conflict of interest clauses are referenced. Submission of responses was required by May 8, 2026, with no explicit format or media requirements, suggesting that formal proposals may not be solicited as part of this administrative action.
