J075--Equipment Maintenance Stratasys Origin One 3D Printer

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Regional Procurement Office East, intends to sole source a Firm Fixed Price contract to Stratasys for the extension of warranty, annual maintenance, and recertification services for the Origin One 3D printer located at the Human Engineering Research Laboratories in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This action is justified under FAR 6.103-1, as Stratasys is identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s requirements, with no other supplies or services deemed acceptable. The contract will cover a base year from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with four additional one-year option periods extending the coverage through August 31, 2031. Services include recertification of the printer within 30 days of award, annual preventative maintenance conducted each October, unlimited on-site technical support within three business days of request, free delivery of hardware and software updates within 30 days of identification, and timely replacement of defective components—new parts except for the projector, which may be refurbished. All services must be performed by certified Stratasys technicians on-site at the government facility, with contractor personnel required to check in at Suite 400 and be escorted at all times while on VA premises. Access to VA networks is strictly prohibited, and all individuals must complete VA privacy training prior to commencing work and annually thereafter. The contract requires electronic invoicing exclusively through the VA’s OB10 system, with fax, email, or scanned submissions not permitted. Performance will be monitored quarterly to ensure compliance with service timelines and quality standards, and invoices will be certified by the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The solicitation number is 36C24E26Q0013, and all responses demonstrating capability to perform the work must be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Mae McGarry by 10:00 a.m. EST on July 31, 2026.
