Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm-Fixed-Price Delivery Order (Sole Source)

- Proposed Contractor: Maness Medical Inc. (Maness Veteran Medical LLC)
- Period of Performance: May 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026
- Set-Aside: Not applicable for this notice, but the sole-source justification highlights the proposed contractor's Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) status and OEM authorization.
- Response Due: April 27, 2026, 4:30 PM EDT
- Published: April 22, 2026
Justification & Response
The sole-source award is justified because Maness Veteran Medical LLC is identified as the sole OEM-authorized SDVOSB source capable of meeting the minimum requirements for compatibility, technical compliance, and warranty coverage with the existing Umano Medical equipment. Market research confirmed their unique qualifications. This is a Special Notice, not a solicitation, and the Government does not intend to compete this requirement. However, interested parties may submit capability statements providing clear and convincing evidence that an alternative source could meet the Government's needs. The Government will review responses but is not obligated to conduct a competitive procurement.
