Description

Notice of Intent to Sole Source Requirement

This Notice of Intent to Sole Source is not a solicitation. This is not a request for quotes. The Department of Veteran Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract with: Tecniplast USA Inc. PO BOX 1209 West Chester, PA 19380 (UEI QHF3J4MS24H4). 

The Department of Veteran Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Tecniplast USA Inc., to schedule annual PM Service for the Tecniplast Rack Washer and Bottle Filler for the use in our Veterinary Medical unit (VMU) on floor 1 of the Freedom building (Building 44). The preventative maintenance will be performed by Tecniplast service engineers. Tecniplast service engineers are trained and certified to perform preventative maintenance on the Tecniplast equipment. Tecniplast is the only manufacturer authorized to provide upgrades, service, and maintenance on their systems. Tecniplast does not sell to third party vendors, nor do they allow third party vendors to add components to their system, nor provide any service or maintenance on their systems. This is done because of the proprietary nature of their coding and programming. Due to the proprietary nature of the system software, it is the Governments belief that no other company possesses the knowledge necessary to maintain and validate the system. Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.  It is not a solicitation or request for offers and no solicitation will be posted to Contracting Opportunities on SAM.gov.
