The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) intends to award a sole source contract to Biosense Webster Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, for electrophysiology (EP) catheters and related products. The VA seeks to establish a five-year blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to provide standardized EP catheters to VA medical centers across the continental United States and Puerto Rico.

The procurement is unrestricted and classified under NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees.
