The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Veterans Health Administration Office of Research and Development Regional Procurement Office East in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, intends to award a sole source contract for an Avidity Science Edstrom Model BFS-675 Bottle Filling Station. This equipment is required to replace a twenty-year-old unit at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. The government requires the exact make and model to ensure compatibility with existing space, power hookups, drains, and water inlet valves, thereby avoiding the need for new construction or abatement. The BFS-675 system is a USA-made unit featuring 316 stainless steel construction and corrosion-resistant parts suitable for untreated, purified, acidified, and chlorinated water. Key technical specifications include adjustable no-drip fill nozzles, a custom designed fill manifold for various bottle sizes, two programmable fill times, and a discharge capacity of 1000 to 1200 ML per minute per nozzle. The scope of work includes the removal of the old unit and the installation of the new station. While this is a notice of intent for a sole source award under NAICS code 334516, the government will consider capability statements from original equipment manufacturers or authorized distributors who can provide equivalent services.
