NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Title:
Notice of Intent to Sole Source Enterprise Digital Telepathology Maintenance and Support Services Philips Healthcare
Description:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC), on behalf of the Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (PLM) National Program Office, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Philips North America dba Philips Healthcare for enterprise digital telepathology equipment maintenance and support services.
The proposed action will provide comprehensive preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, replacement parts, software updates/upgrades, and end-user technical support for Philips digital telepathology systems deployed across VA Medical Centers nationwide. These FDA-cleared systems support mission-critical clinical pathology operations used for Veteran patient diagnosis and care.
The anticipated period of performance consists of a one-year base period with four one-year option periods. The total estimated value of this requirement is anticipated to be within the range of $6 million to $7 million over the five-year period of performance.
This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. § 1901, as implemented by FAR 12.102(b). The Government has determined that Philips North America is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency s minimum requirements due to the proprietary nature of the equipment, OEM-controlled maintenance authority, FDA regulatory requirements, and the need to maintain system integrity and uninterrupted clinical operations.
This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. However, any interested party that believes it can meet the Government s requirement may submit a capability statement for consideration. Responses must clearly demonstrate the ability to provide OEM-authorized maintenance and support services for Philips digital telepathology systems while maintaining FDA compliance and warranty integrity.
For additional details regarding the statutory authority, market research findings, estimated value, and justification for limiting competition, please refer to the attached Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition.
