J078--Support National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 and Network Contracting Office 22, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Richard's Cyclery for Adaptive Cycling Equipment and Maintenance Services. This contract supports the 2021 National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic (NVSSC) hosted by the VA San Diego Healthcare System. The one-year contract will provide specialized cycling equipment and related maintenance to enhance the adaptive cycling experience for veterans participating in this event. The sole source designation is based on a waiver to competitive procurement as allowed under FAR regulations, citing specific provisions that justify the non-competitive nature due to the uniqueness of the services and urgency of the mission. Interested parties are invited to submit responses demonstrating that competition would be beneficial, cost-effective, and timely by the specified deadline, August 2, 2021. The contracting officer for this action is Imelda Martinez, who is the point of contact for this procurement. The arrangement reflects the VA's commitment to supporting veteran-focused healthcare programs through tailored services while maintaining compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulations. The contract is classified under NAICS code 336991, concentrating on transportation equipment manufacturing, specifically adapted to the specialized needs of the veteran community.
