The Department of Veterans Affairs, on behalf of the West Haven VA Medical Center, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed contract with options to Itamar Medical, Inc. for 500 WatchPAT ONE Devices with associated services annually for 60 months. This procurement, identified by solicitation number 36C24126Q0071, is justified under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B) due to the unique and highly specialized nature of the supplies and services, which are available off FSS 36F79723D0108. The NAICS code for this requirement is 334510. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, responsible sources who believe they can provide these products may submit detailed documentation by January 16, 2026, to Divianna Mathurin at divianna.mathurin@va.gov for market research purposes.

This document is a Request for Sole Source Justification for the procurement of WatchPAT ONE Devices with associated services for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically for the White River Junction VA Healthcare System. The justification outlines the unique capabilities of the WatchPAT ONE system, emphasizing its disposable, single-use nature, compatibility with CPRS and Somnoware interface (which is FedRAMP approved), ability to provide detailed sleep architecture data, and user-friendly design compared to other sleep study devices. The document cites GSAM/R 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii) as the authority, stating that only one source (Itamar Medical via VHSS) is capable of providing these unique and highly specialized supplies and services. Market research confirms that Itamar Medical is the sole FedRAMP-approved provider offering the WatchPAT ONE Direct Program with a "dropship" method for secure data transmission. The pricing of $219.00 per study is deemed fair and reasonable based on historical consistency. The acquisition aims to address staff shortages, improve turnaround times, and enhance the VA's capacity to deliver timely, high-quality sleep services to veterans, particularly those with obstructive and central sleep apnea.
