J063--Notice of Intent to Sole Source X-Ray Machine Maintenance
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Smiths Detection Inc. for a five-year Maintenance Service Agreement (base plus four option years) for an X-Ray machine. Performance will occur at the VA Regional Office in Huntington, West Virginia. The restriction to a single source is justified because only the manufacturer possesses the proprietary diagnostic tools and trained personnel required for maintenance. No budget amount is specified in the description. This is not a request for competitive offers, and no solicitation will be posted.
