The supplies are intended for clinical use at the Dayton location, and no set-aside provisions apply.

J065--BioFire Film Array Maintenance Notice of Intent to Award Sole-SourceThe Detroit VA Medical Center requires maintenance and repair services for its BioFire Film Array systems, and the Network Contracting Office 10 plans to award a sole-source contract to BioFire Diagnostics, LLC, the exclusive manufacturer and authorized service provider of all BioFire equipment, including the FilmArray Torch System and associated reagents. BioFire, a wholly-owned subsidiary of bioMérieux, is the only entity capable of servicing these systems due to proprietary technology, certified factory-trained engineers, and software restrictions that invalidate warranties or service coverage if alterations are made by unauthorized third parties. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) because no other source can meet the agency’s technical and operational requirements, and the NAICS code 811210 applies with a $34 million size standard for small businesses. This notice is not a competitive solicitation, but any responsible entity claiming it can satisfy the requirements may submit a quote by the deadline of August 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, to Jeannie Ortiz, Contracting Officer, via email. Responses must include clear and convincing evidence of capability to fully meet the government’s needs, though the government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole-source award regardless of submissions. No solicitation documents are available, and inquiries by phone will not be accepted. All correspondence must be directed to the specified email address, and the contract will be managed by the Office of the Department of Veterans Affairs under the Network Contracting Office 10 headquartered in Dayton, Ohio.

4110--Equipment, MedChill Refrigerator - Pharmacy, Ann ArborThe Department of Veterans Affairs, through its VISN 10 Contracting Activity, intends to award a sole source contract under Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Omnicell for specialized medical refrigeration components compatible with its MedChill automated dispensing system. The procurement includes four proprietary items: the MedChill 3 Bin Drawer Kit, the MedChill 8 Bin Drawer Kit, a customized 20 cubic foot tall medical grade refrigerator, and a customized 5 cubic foot undercounter medical grade refrigerator, all uniquely modified by Omnicell to ensure seamless integration with its proprietary FlexLock access control and TempCheck temperature monitoring systems. These components are essential for secure, compliant storage of temperature-sensitive medications within clinical environments already equipped with Omnicell infrastructure, and no other vendor can provide equivalent functionality due to the proprietary nature of the design and compatibility requirements. The NAICS code for this procurement is 339112, and Omnicell, identified as a large business based in Mountain View, California, is the only source capable of fulfilling the requirement. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price with no options and will be limited exclusively to Omnicell, as the Government has determined that no other manufacturer can meet the technical, safety, and operational standards required for integration with existing Omnicell systems. The refrigerators, originally manufactured by Follett Healthcare, are customized solely by Omnicell at its Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania facility to ensure full interoperability. This is not a request for proposals but a notice of intent to proceed with sole source negotiation, and no responses will be accepted after noon on Tuesday, July 21, 2026. The solicitation number is 36C25026Q0748, and the contract is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ 250-NETWORK Contract Office 10 in Dayton, Ohio, with Brooke Hansen as the primary point of contact.
