The procurement is restricted to a single source due to the belief that STERIS is the only entity capable of fulfilling the VA's specific requirements, as per federal acquisition regulations. Interested parties may submit evidence of competitive viability until 10:00 AM EST on March 10, 2025, via email to the designated Contract Specialist, Divianna Mathurin.

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking sole source justification under FAR 13.5 for the continuation of services provided by a mobile sterilization processing (SPS) unit at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System in West Haven. The existing contract with STERIS Corporation has been deemed the only viable option as introducing a new unit would necessitate costly modifications to the infrastructure and extensive retraining of staff. The current STERIS mobile trailer has been operational since 2020, ensuring critical services during renovations and equipment failures. The proposed contract spans one base year and four option years, with a total estimated value of over $7.5 million. This acquisition will maintain effective sterilization services vital for patient care, especially during the ongoing construction of the existing sterile processing area. Previous pricing from STERIS provides a benchmark for ensuring that anticipated expenses remain fair and reasonable. The lack of competition in this specialized field further supports the need for restricted solicitation.
