The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 intends to enter into a sole source procurement with Materialise USA LLC to provide Mimics 3D software for the Durham VA Medical Center. This procurement is being conducted under NAICS code 513210 for software publishers, with the authority restricting competition to one source, given specific requirements for software licensing and compliance with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) warranty and service terms.

The contract will take effect upon delivery of the product and a valid invoice.

The provision or delivery of remanufactured or gray market items is strictly prohibited. The procurement is crucial for the preventative maintenance of OEM medical equipment and supplies, where all associated software licensing, warranty, and service must adhere to OEM terms. Any deviation, especially involving gray market goods, may lead to contract termination or require replacement of goods at no cost to the government.
