The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to award a sole-source contract for the preventive and corrective maintenance and repair of Philips high-cost/high-tech medical devices. The goal is to ensure the proper functioning of these essential medical devices.
The VA Caribbean Healthcare System requires the services of Philips Medical System Puerto Rico Inc., the original equipment manufacturer and authorized service representative, due to the proprietary nature of the devices. The contract will be for one base year, with the potential for four additional years, and will cover the provision of factory-certified field service technicians for timely access, troubleshooting, repair, and calibration of the equipment.
This special notice is not a solicitation or request for proposals. The department intends to negotiate directly with Philips Medical System Puerto Rico Inc. However, if any other company believes it can provide competitive services, it must provide clear and convincing evidence of its capabilities by the deadline.
Interested parties should direct any inquiries to Carol Baez Rosario, the contract specialist, via email at carol.baezrosario@va.gov, ensuring a response by 10:00 AM EST on July 31, 2024, to be considered.
