In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) on behalf of the Tennessee Valley VA Medical Centers (Nashville and Murfreesboro Locations), Network Contracting Office (NCO) 9 intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with ICP Medical, LLC. located at 13720 Rider Trail North St. Louis, MO 63045.

Additionally, we received notification from OEM ICP Medical, LLC., explaining that their company is the only company who is certified and trained to install the specialized equipment.
