INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE TO ABBOTT LABORATORIES

The Department of Defense Defense Health Agency (DHA) is issuing a Notice of Intent to award a sole‑source contract to Abbott Laboratories, Inc., the exclusive U.S. provider of the Ensite X electrophysiology system located at the Naval Medical Center San Diego (ZIP 92134). The contract, effective 1 May 2028 through 30 April 2029, requires the contractor to perform all non‑personal services needed to maintain, repair, replace, and upgrade the existing EP equipment in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, including a one‑time hardware/software upgrade and a year of preventive maintenance. The contractor must supply all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, and supervision, except for government‑provided utilities (electrical power, compressed air, water) which must be approved by the base engineer. Performance will be evaluated under the DHA Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), and access to the facility requires coordination with the Cardiology Department Inventory Manager and escort for emergent work. Because this is a sole‑source award, no competitive proposals are solicited. Interested parties must submit a capability statement (maximum six 8.5 × 11 in. pages, ≥10‑point font) that includes management, technical, and cost data demonstrating the ability to perform the work and validation from Abbott Laboratories. Submissions are due 1000 AM Pacific Time, 1 May 2026, and must be emailed as a Microsoft Word or PDF attachment to dernell.w.wade.civ@health.mil with the subject line “DHA Western Markets Contracting Division, Special Notice Number HT941026N0050.” NAICS code 811210 applies.
