The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole-source contract to Omnicell, Inc. for support services related to the SV Pandora. The contract, valued at an estimated $34 million, would be a Firm-Fixed Price agreement for one year, with the option to extend for two further years.

The scope of work involves critical support services for the SV Pandora, where Omnicell, Inc. is the sole authorized vendor. The work entails maintenance and repair of medical equipment, and the contract would ensure the continued operation of this essential equipment.

The department seeks to award the contract under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures act, citing Omnicell, Inc. as the only responsible source for these specialized services. Per the notice, any other interested parties may submit written notification and relevant qualifications by a strict deadline. However, the department emphasizes that the decision to sole-source the contract to Omnicell, Inc. is at their discretion.

To be considered, interested parties must demonstrate their ability to meet the required services and provide a letter of authorization from the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The evaluation of submissions will be based on this criteria, and the department will decide based on the responses received.

For further information or clarification, interested parties can contact the Contracting Officer, Robert Ruska, via email at Robert.Ruska@va.gov, with a deadline of 10:00 AM Local Time on July 30, 2024.
