Summary
AI-generated · Jan 03, 2026Two full turnkey Ultra Optics Coating Machines are being requested to upgrade/replace the current Satisloh optical coaters at the VA VISN 10 Optical Lab in Indianapolis. The units, identified as 01-053-890 UO-MR3 Coating Units (MR3 Coating Unit, 1027UO), must provide a fully integrated process that automatically cleans, coats, and cures lenses in one cycle, capable of processing three lenses concurrently at up to 80 lenses per hour, operating on 115V/60Hz. Each unit should include a color touchscreen with an integrated owner’s manual and a HEPA filtration system, with support and services as part of the offering. The procurement aims to replace equipment that is over ten years old and proprietary to its original manufacturer, and the new equipment must integrate with the lab’s existing inventory as a subcomponent of a larger filtration system; OEM trade-in of the old equipment is a consideration.
This is a sole-source, firm-fixed-price action under simplified acquisition procedures (FAR 13.106-1), based on the belief that only one responsible source can meet the requirement. The government intends to negotiate exclusively with Satisloh North America, a small business, for two units, and no options will be included. The requested equipment must seamlessly integrate with the current lab setup, and the OEM trade-in of the existing machines will be considered. Responses will not be accepted after the stated deadline.
