How to bid on Federal EHR Oracle Migration Support for the VISN VAHCS
What the VA is buying and why it matters
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to award a sole-source contract for upgraded KARL STORZ equipment to support the VISN VA Health Care System. This equipment is needed to ensure the safety of veterans. While the VA plans to award this contract to L1 Enterprises, other vendors who believe they can meet this requirement are invited to submit their information.
This is a notice of intent, not a solicitation for proposals. However, it's an opportunity for other businesses to demonstrate their capability to provide the required equipment, potentially leading the VA to consider a competitive procurement.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The notice was published on July 30, 2026. If you intend to submit information, your response must be received by August 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time (11:00 AM ET).
At the deadline, the VA will review all submitted capability statements, proposals, or quotations. This review will help the agency decide whether to proceed with a sole-source award or to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is primarily for vendors who can provide KARL STORZ upgraded equipment. The VA expects the equipment to be provided by an authorized Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) vendor. The relevant NAICS code for this requirement is 541512, which covers Computer Systems Design Services.
If your firm is an authorized SDVOSB distributor for KARL STORZ equipment, or if you can otherwise provide the exact upgraded equipment specified, this notice is relevant to you.
How to respond
To respond, you must submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation in writing to [email protected]. Ensure your submission clearly demonstrates your ability to fully meet the government's requirement for the KARL STORZ upgraded equipment.

Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is a notice of intent for a sole-source award, a strong response can influence the agency's decision. Clearly articulate how your firm can provide the exact KARL STORZ upgraded equipment. Focus on meeting all stated requirements.
If you are an authorized SDVOSB distributor for KARL STORZ, highlight this prominently in your submission. Provide evidence of your authorization and your ability to deliver the specific equipment needed. Ensure your submission is concise, professional, and directly addresses the VA's stated need for veteran safety.
