AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 1, intends to award a sole-source contract under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) to the Metropolitan Boston Emergency Medical Services Council, Inc. for emergency medical services communication services beginning August 7, 2026. The contract is necessary because Boston EMS is the only entity with legal authority to operate, control, and maintain the proprietary, municipally governed public safety communication network that provides essential emergency dispatch connectivity, encrypted radio interoperability, and real-time coordination with regional first responders serving VA Boston Healthcare System facilities. No commercial alternative exists capable of delivering identical access to the secure, non-commercially available CMED EMS communication infrastructure, and any attempt to use another provider would result in catastrophic loss of interoperability, disruption of patient transport, and failure to meet VA emergency care continuity requirements. The contract structure includes a base year and four option years spanning through August 6, 2031, with a total potential value of $108,640.91, structured as firm-fixed-price annual subscriptions increasing incrementally each year. The contract is non-competitive, and while no formal solicitation for quotes is issued, interested parties must submit a capability statement by July 24, 2026, proving legal access to the Boston EMS network, ability to replicate municipal-level dispatch services, and formal certification from the City of Boston. The place of performance is within the Boston metropolitan area, specifically supporting VA facilities, with acceptance and inspection occurring at the VA Boston Healthcare System in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. Payment and invoicing details are not specified, but funding is allocated under TAS 523-26-4-7918-0069. The contracting officer is Phillip Crockett, with Divianna Mathurin serving as the contract specialist. No packaging, labeling, security clearances, or formal evaluation factors are required, as the justification for sole sourcing is based entirely on operational necessity and lack of viable alternatives.
