## Description

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate on a sole source contract for a one (1) year base period to include one option year with Nikon Instruments based in Melville, NY on behalf of the Veterans Affairs Jamaica Plains Healthcare System (VAJPHS). The requirement is to provide a maintenance and calibration service agreement for the Nikon Super Resolution System microscope which is currently in use at VAJPHS.

The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.1-1 Only One Responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
