NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE - James J. Peters VA Medical Center The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 2 (NCO 2) intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Hologic, Inc., for a service maintenance requirement covering the ThinPrep 2000 Processor and Compass Stainer instruments at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center, located at 130 West Kingsbridge Road, Bronx, NY 10468-3904. The scope of services includes yearly preventative maintenance, a yearly customer care call, on-site service and application support, and phone technical support. As confirmed by a proprietary letter from the manufacturer, Hologic is the only authorized service provider for this equipment. Consequently, based on market research findings that did not identify any other qualified vendors, a sole-source award is deemed necessary. The NAICS code for this procurement is 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), with a small business size standard of $34 million, and the PSC is J065 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies). This is not a request for competitive quotes, but any firm believing it can meet these requirements may provide written notification with supporting evidence via email to Contract Specialist Zachary Whiting (Zachary.whiting2@va.gov) by October 24, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted. The government will proceed with the sole-source award if no responses are received.
