    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has issued a Special Notice regarding its intent to sole source to Datax-Ohmeda Inc. for the procurement of GE Carescape Respiratory Module Parts Kit. This decision is based on 41 U.S.C. §3304(a)(1) and is supported by FAR 6.302-1, indicating that only one responsible source can fulfill the agency's requirements. The notice specifies that this is not a solicitation for competitive bids; rather, it serves to inform stakeholders about the upcoming firm-fixed-price contract with Datax-Ohmeda, located in Madison, Wisconsin, to support the George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center. The notice outlines critical details including the contracting office's address, response date, product service code, and the point of contact for inquiries. This action denotes a strategic procurement approach by the VA to ensure that specific equipment needs are met efficiently without pursuing multiple vendors.
    The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a Sources Sought Notice to assess the availability of businesses capable of supplying parts for Carescape Respiratory Modules. This notice, designated primarily for market research, aims to gather information that will inform the acquisition strategy for future procurement. Relevant companies are encouraged to submit their capabilities to the contracting specialist, Crystal Volmar, by May 30, 2025. Interested parties must include basic company details and a brief statement of capability, specifically concerning their ability to provide one year of parts and technical support for respiratory modules. The notice clarifies that this is not a formal solicitation, nor will it result in a contract, but rather serves as a means to evaluate the competition pool for potential small or large business set-asides. Prospective respondents will not receive evaluation results, and the government will not compensate for the information provided. This process aligns with government procurement practices and aims to encourage broad vendor participation while ensuring compliance with regulations found on the Sam.gov website.
