Evaluation
This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract, not a request for competitive quotes or proposals. No solicitation document is available. The Government intends to award to STERIS Corporation under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b), citing "Only One Responsible Source."
Additional Notes
The VA has determined that STERIS Corporation is the only responsible source, as no other known commercial solution provides an equivalent, fully integrated SPD competency management platform with validated sterile processing content and operational maturity suitable for immediate deployment.
