The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office (NCO) 8 located in Tampa, Florida, has issued a Special Notice of Intent to award a sole source procurement for Sleep Lab CO2 Monitors to Sentec. This procurement is specifically for the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital (JAHVH) Sleep Lab, which operates within the Pulmonary Department of the Medicine and Specialty Care Service. The primary objective of this acquisition is to obtain Sentec tCOM+ Transcutaneous CO2 Monitoring Systems that are fully compatible with the Sleep Lab’s existing diagnostic infrastructure.
The scope of this procurement centers on the need for advanced CO2 monitoring systems that can seamlessly integrate with the Nox Medical diagnostic ecosystem currently deployed in the Sleep Lab. The required Sentec tCOM+ systems must provide direct digital compatibility with Nox A1 sleep study devices, Noxturnal Sleep Lab Software, and the Nox W7 Link S interface. This integration is critical for ensuring synchronized, accurate, and reliable CO2 data collection, which is essential for effective clinical diagnosis and patient care within the Sleep Lab environment.
Market research conducted by the VA has determined that, while alternative transcutaneous CO2 monitors are available, none offer the necessary direct digital integration with the Nox Medical systems in use. An in-clinic demonstration further validated that the Sentec tCOM+ system is uniquely capable of integrating with all Nox A1 units and associated diagnostic equipment without the need for external converters, unsupported adapters, or analog pathways. This level of integration is a non-negotiable requirement for the Sleep Lab’s operational and clinical needs.
Sentec has confirmed that it does not authorize distribution of its devices through third-party suppliers, including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), and sells directly to VA medical centers. As such, Sentec is the only legally authorized and technically capable source for the required equipment. The procurement is being executed under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), and FAR 6.302-1, which allow for sole source awards when only one source is capable of meeting the agency’s requirements.
This notice is not a request for quotes. However, interested parties who believe they can meet the full technical and functional requirements are invited to submit a capabilities statement via email to the primary contact, Marcus Lewis, at [email protected], no later than May 7th. All submissions must provide sufficient evidence of the ability to meet the specified requirements. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
