AI Contract Overview

Show more

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to sole source a firm-fixed-price contract to Strategic Medical Equipment Solutions, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, for Initial Outfitting, Transition and Activation services at the new Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Louisville, Kentucky. This action is justified due to SME’s extensive and ongoing involvement since 2023 under a prior IDIQ contract, during which it has developed irreplaceable expertise in the facility’s activation plans, equipment procurement, warehousing logistics, departmental transition schedules, and stakeholder coordination. Transitioning to another vendor at this critical stage would cause unacceptable delays, redundant effort, and increased costs, making SME the only source capable of ensuring mission continuity without disruption. The contract is set aside entirely for SDVOSBs, has an estimated performance period of eighteen months, and is classified under NAICS code 541614 with a Product Service Code of Q702, covering technical medical support including biomedical equipment and medical logistics. The opportunity is not open for competitive bidding, but any interested party may submit a capability statement by August 12, 2026, to demonstrate their ability to perform the work, though the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition. All submissions must be made in writing via email to the Contracting Officer, and no costs incurred in responding will be reimbursed.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Initial Outfitting, Transition and Activation (IOTA) Services for the Replacement Veterans Affairs Medical Center-Louisville, KY.
100% SDVOSB SET ASIDE
This is a Notice of Intent that the Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source contract to Strategic Medical Equipment Solutions, LLC (SME) for the non-personal Initial Outfitting, Transition and Activation (IOTA) Services for the Replacement Veterans Affairs Medical Center-Louisville, KY.
SME has been performing Initial Outfitting, Transition, and Activation support for the Replacement Veterans Affairs Medical Center Louisville, KY under an existing IOTA IDIQ since 2023 and has completed substantial project specific planning and sequencing activities. The project is now in the activation stage, and SME possesses unique knowledge of the facility s activation plans, equipment procurement coordination, warehousing flow, departmental transition schedules, and stakeholder requirements. Transitioning these services to another vendor at this stage would require extensive duplication of work, result in significant delays to the activation timeline, and cause substantial additional cost to the Government. SME is therefore the only responsible source capable of providing the necessary continuity of services without unacceptable mission impact.
This requirement supports the mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs by providing contractor services to help support the activation of the medical center. This requirement will be set-aside 100% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). This will be a firm-fixed-price contract with an estimated Period of Performance of eighteen (18) months. The NAICS code for this contract action is 541614 Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services (SBA Size Standard: $20 Million). The Product Service Code for this action is Q702 Technical Medical Support-Medical logistics, biomedical equipment, occupational/public health, medical supply, medical readiness.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations. Any party who believes they can perform this requirement should submit a capability statement for consideration by the Government. The capabilities statement must provide clear and unambiguous evidence to substantiate the capability of the party to provide the required services. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. A party may identify their interest and submit a capability statement by Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 10:00AM Eastern Daylight Time. Responses, including questions about this notice, shall be sent via email to the Contracting Officer, Kathleen Klotzbach, at Kathleen.Klotzbach@va.gov. Verbal responses are not acceptable and will not be considered.  P.O.C: Kathleen.Klotzbach@va.gov, Contracting Officer

Solicitation # 75D30126Q79174
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Western States Division, intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to Natural Resources Consultants for a feasibility study aimed at evaluating the availability of data to expand existing commercial fisheries workforce estimates to include new state-level fisheries not previously assessed. NRC is identified as the sole entity with the proprietary methodology, extensive experience, and exclusive access to comprehensive data on the U.S. commercial fishing workforce, making it the only source capable of fulfilling this highly specialized requirement. No competitive solicitation will be issued, and the government is seeking responses solely to confirm the absence of other capable sources before proceeding with a non-competitive award. The contract will support the expansion of national fisheries workforce data by leveraging NRC’s unique capabilities to fill critical information gaps. The solicitation number is 75D30126Q79174, and responses must be submitted by August 5, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time to Contract Specialist Eugene L. Gutierrez Jr. at zvm0@cdc.gov. Although the contract type is classified under a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside, the sole source designation takes precedence due to the unique expertise required. The performance location is Spokane, Washington, while the contracting office is based in Atlanta, Georgia, under the Department of Health and Human Services. This notice is not a request for competitive bids but serves as a formal opportunity for interested parties to demonstrate capability; any submissions received by the deadline will be evaluated solely to inform the government’s decision not to pursue competition.
