6670--PAR EXCELLENCE WBIMS

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 6, intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to PAR Excellence Systems, Inc. for their Weight-Based Inventory Management Systems (WBIMS), software, maintenance, and support services for the Fayetteville VAMC. This decision is based on the current utilization of PAR Excellence's systems at the facility and their interoperability with the VA's existing supply chain system (IFCAP's General Inventory Package). The government believes PAR Excellence is the sole provider of these systems and related maintenance, citing market research indicating that competitive acquisition would lead to unacceptable cost duplication or delays in patient care. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes, but interested businesses believing they can provide these services may submit written notice and supporting evidence to Jonathan.Lamb@va.gov by March 12, 2026, 11:00 AM EST. Submissions must include company details, SAMs UEI, and manufacturer authorization. The government retains discretion on whether to compete the acquisition.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 6 has issued a Sources Sought Notice (36C24626Q0171) for potential vendors to provide a PAR Excellence Weight-based Inventory Management System (WBIMS) for the Fayetteville VAMC. This is not a request for bids, but market research to identify qualified sources, particularly Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), and Small Businesses (SB). The VA seeks to improve its current labor-intensive inventory system, which relies on cycle counting, to reduce workload, prevent stock outages, and mitigate patient risks. The required system includes software, PAR scale products, hardware accessories, third-party storage, and implementation services, along with an authorized letter from the OEM. Interested vendors must provide company information, SAMs UEI and DUN’s numbers, product lists, business size, and whether they are manufacturers or distributors. Responses are due via email by January 30, 2026, 2:00 PM EST, to Jonathan.Lamb@va.gov. All contractors must be registered in SAM.gov.
