    The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing a Special Notice regarding its intent to enter into a sole-source contract with GAM Medical Surgical Consulting LLC for the rental of Shockwave Lithotripsy services. This contract will be structured as a firm-fixed agreement that includes one base year and up to four option years, continuing services currently performed under an expiring contract (36C24120P0121) that ends on October 26, 2024. The notice indicates that the government will solicit and negotiate exclusively with one source based on the authority provided by FAR 813.106-1(b), relating to Simplified Acquisition Procedures. It also emphasizes that this is not a request for competitive proposals, and there is no current solicitation available. Interested parties who feel qualified to offer similar services are encouraged to provide relevant documentation by the response deadline of October 15, 2024, by 10:00 AM EST. The notice serves as a preliminary communication to gauge interest and qualifications for potential market research, underscoring the government’s discretion in determining whether to pursue competitive procurement in the future.

    The document outlines a justification for sole-source contracting of Shockwave Lithotripsy services by the Providence Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). With no alternative providers in the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 1 area, GAM Medical Surgical Consulting LLC stands as the sole provider in Rhode Island capable of delivering necessary services like Green Light Laser, Shockwave Lithotripsy, and Laser Lithotripsy. Market research, including searches in various government databases such as VetCert, GSA e-Library, and SBA DSBS, indicated no other viable contractors for these specialized medical treatments. The urgency of patient care needs demands a responsive contractor, which GAM offers due to its proximity to the VAMC. Consequently, a notice of intent to sole source the procurement will be published, as it aligns with federal regulations due to the unavailability of other suppliers and the prerequisites of the FAR 13.106-1(b) certification. The document emphasizes GAM's capability to provide immediate support and maintenance, crucial for uninterrupted patient care services.
