Description
This is a Notice of Intent published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101(a)(1) requiring the dissemination of information regarding proposed contract actions. This Notice of Intent is for a proposed award of a sole source, firm-fixed price contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Service Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. It is not a request for competitive quotes.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23 intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Olympus America Inc. as Olympus America Inc. has proprietary ownership of Olympus America Inc. equipment repair. Olympus America Inc. is the only source that can provide the Central Iowa VA with the necessary equipment repairs.
VA requires the proprietary Olympus America Inc. in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Service Will Satisfy Agency Requirements because the services and repair are unique or proprietary to Olympus America Inc. Market research revealed that Olympus America Inc. is the proprietary developer and distributor for the equipment currently being utilized by VA. The equipment repair by Olympus is routinely used by VA to provide services for veterans in the VA Healthcare System. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 811210 and the service code is Q702.
While this synopsis does not constitute a solicitation, interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to satisfy the requirement. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. The Government understands that Olympus America Inc. is the only vendor that can provide the requested services. However, vendors that believe they can provide the capabilities required to fully meet the Government's requirement may submit information in writing to marie.weathers@va.gov by November 16, 2023. Such documentation will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
