The Government has determined that the proposed vendor is the only authorized provider capable of performing the required high voltage testing.

. Utilizing any other supplier would result in costs that cannot be recovered through competition and would introduce delays that impact continuity of patient care. This requirement is also a follow-on action to a previous contract. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Market research and previous acquisition history have determined that these services can only be obtained from a single source without unacceptable duplication of cost or adverse impact to patient care operations. No solicitation documents are available, and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, any business that believes it can provide the services for the Triennial Electrical Testing & Maintenance may give written notice to lakeva.cousins@va.gov, by 10:00am EDT on August 4, 2026.

Interested and capable respondents are requested to provide the information below. All responses to this notice shall include: company name, address, point of contact, phone number, System for Award (SAMs) Unique Entity Id Number (UEI), manufacturer authorization letter, authorized dealer, authorized distributor, or authorized reseller documentation.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
