Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Network Contracting Office 10 (NCO 10), has issued a Justification for Single Source Award for a Natus Sensory VNG system for the Pain Medicine Service at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VAMC in Cleveland, OH. This action is for a brand-name purchase order.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for a Natus ICS Dizcovery System, including the ICS Dizcovery Pro Plus software license, various replacement kits (USB cable, hot mirror, head strap, universal face cushions), a device storage cradle, and an AirCal Caloric Stimulator with disposable specula. The procurement also includes a half-day training session for staff and a two-year Flex Care service contract to ensure system maintenance and functionality.
Contract Details
- Type: Firm-fixed-price, open-market, brand-name purchase order.
- Estimated Value: $58,051.32.
- Required Delivery: 30 Days After Receipt of Order (ARO).
- Published: February 11, 2026.
Set-Aside / Eligibility
This procurement is intended as a sole source award to Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions (VHSS), a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOSB). An SBA Non-Manufacturer Rule (NMR) waiver has been issued, and the VA and SBA Rule of Two could not be met, justifying the sole source approach.
Justification Rationale
The Natus ICS Dizcovery System is a specialized medical diagnostic tool featuring unique, patented technology, which limits its availability to a single source. Market research confirmed VHSS as the sole distributor for this product, and they do not participate in competitive quoting. An Intent to Sole Source Notice was posted from February 3, 2026, through February 10, 2026, and received no responses from other interested parties. This is an acquisition for a medical device.
