M1DZ--Tri-Annual Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS) Load Test, Las Vegas VA Medical Center

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contract Office 21, intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Cummins Inc. for the tri-annual Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS) Load Test at the Las Vegas VA Medical Center, citing that Cummins is the only authorized and trained provider for Cummins Onan branded power generators. The government asserts no other third parties are qualified to perform this critical service, and therefore, no competitive solicitation is planned unless viable alternatives are demonstrated. Interested parties must submit a capability statement, their company information, and an official authorization letter from Cummins Inc. to Angela Gerlitzki at angela.gerlitzki1@va.gov no later than August 3, 2026, at 10 a.m. PST. The contract is classified under NAICS Code 541380 with a size standard of $19 million, and while responses will be reviewed, the government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole source award regardless of submissions. The work is set to occur at the Las Vegas VA Medical Center, with the contract solicitation number 36C26126Q0945 issued under the Mather, California-based office.
