Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Rees Scientific for a Temperature Equipment Monitoring System at the VA Long Beach Healthcare System. This is a Notice of Intent published under FAR Part 8.405-6. Interested vendors must submit capability statements by June 5, 2026, at 6:00 AM Central Time.
Purpose & Scope
The requirement is for the procurement of additional Rees Scientific environmental monitoring system components and associated installation services. This includes items such as Z3-NET-POE, Z3 Zigbee Universal wireless transmitters, various temperature probes, 110 Volt input/6 Volt DC output wall transformers, and temperature blocks. The scope also covers installation of additional equipment/sensors, testing, configuration, and validation. The estimated value of this action is $48,056.22.
Justification
The sole source justification is based on the proprietary nature of the Rees Scientific Z3 Zigbee Universal wireless transmitter and its critical integration with the existing Rees network infrastructure. Substituting alternative equipment would compromise regulatory data integrity, incur substantial costs for system replacement, and potentially jeopardize the Authority to Operate (ATO) for the current system.
