The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23 intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Sebia Inc. for proprietary scheduled and unscheduled maintenance for a Sebia-brand Capillarys 2 Flex Piercing instrument.

All software licensing, warranty and service associated with the supplies, equipment and/or services contracts for maintenance of equipment shall be in accordance with the OEM terms and conditions.

The prime contractor for the maintenance and repair services must be Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) certified, offer OEM parts, and shall not provide gray market items. Gray market items are OEM goods sold through unauthorized channels in direct competition with authorized distributors. No remanufactured or gray market items will be acceptable. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 811219 the service code is J065. While this synopsis does not constitute a solicitation, interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to satisfy the requirement. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. The Government understands that Sebia Inc. is the only vendor that can provide the requested services. However, vendors that believe they can provide the capabilities required to fully meet the Government's requirement may submit information in writing to john.breyer@va.gov by 8:00 AM Central Time on Wednesday, February 3, 2021. Such documentation will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis.
