NOTICE OF THE INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

This notice is prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101 Presolicitation Notice. This announcement constitutes the only notice and synopsis of the proposed action.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Enterprise Procurement Office (EPO), on behalf of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Equipment Life Cycle Management (ELCM) Program intends to award Firm Fixed Price (FFP) sole source award in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-5 and Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 819.7008 for the procurement Eye Lane or equal product and associated equipment with Corps Medical Supply LLC, 2211 N. Tradition Lane, Janesville, WI 53545.

The applicable North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 339112 Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing is most appropriate for this requirement. The size standard is 1,000 employees. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 6540 Ophthalmic Instruments, Equipment and Supplies.

In accordance with Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 819.7008, the determination to make a sole source award to a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) is a business decision wholly within the discretion of the Contracting officer; therefore, the requirement to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable is not applicable to this procurement. In addition, 819.7008(c) further authorizes the Contracting Officer to make the award without first determining that only one SDVOSB source can meet the requirement.

The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(5), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-5 Authorized or required by statute. The applicable statute is Public Law 109-461: Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006; specifically, the Veterans First Contracting Program outlined in 38 U.S.C. § 8127(c) and VAAR 819.7008.

Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. Supporting information must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirements. No solicitation package is available, and telephone requests will not be honored.

Responses received will be reviewed; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No cost to the government will arise as a result of contractor submissions of responses to this announcement or the government use of such information.
