W066--36C24521C0084| GI Scope Lease OP Justification

The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the VISN 05 Baltimore Medical Center, has issued a Justification and Approval for a single-source award modification to contract 36C24521C0084. This action involves the evaluation and pricing of an option to extend an existing lease for GI and pulmonary surgical scopes. The estimated value for this requirement is $164,000. This procurement is classified under NAICS 339113, Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing, and PSC W066, Lease or Rental of Equipment- Instruments and Laboratory Equipment.

The justification for the single-source award is based on the critical need to maintain continuity of medical services at the Baltimore facility located at 10 N Greene St, Baltimore, MD 21201. The scopes are currently in operation, and the removal of this equipment would lead to work stoppages for gastrointestinal and pulmonary surgical procedures, potentially resulting in adverse patient events. Due to the emergency nature of preventing these medical risks, market research was not conducted for this extension.

The notice was published on April 20, 2026, and includes one attachment titled 36C24521C0084 P00006_1.docx. The contracting officer approved the purchase in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) for acquisitions over the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. Stephanie Henderson serves as the point of contact for this requirement.
