The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is planning to negotiate exclusively with Avasure LLC for technical support related to the Telesitter Monitoring System. This action falls under the guidelines of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for soliciting from a single source. Although this is not a request for competitive quotes, interested contractors may submit a capability statement or proposal by March 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM CST, which the contracting officer may consider for future procurement competition. Responses should be sent via email to designated contacts, and all submissions must demonstrate the contractor's ability to meet the required specifications. The VA emphasizes that responding to this notice does not guarantee contract awarding, as discretion for contract awarding remains with the Government. Additionally, contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and authorized by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to ensure compliance with warranty and service requirements. This notice serves primarily as informational and indicates the VA's intent to procure services in a straightforward, non-competitive manner.
