About this award
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Veterans Integrated Service Network 2, awarded a sole-source purchase order to Medtronic USA, Inc. on November 6, 2025, for one Vitalflow Capital Heart-Lung Bypass Unit valued at $85,500. The contract was executed as an emergency procurement without competitive bidding due to unusual and compelling urgency, following multiple FDA recalls that rendered the Buffalo VA Medical Center's existing Cardiohelp Heart-Lung Bypass unit inoperable and created a critical shortage of bypass capability in the operating room. This direct award to Medtronic reflects the vendor's status as the original equipment manufacturer and the specific FDA recommendation for replacement with the Vitalflow system. The contract is firm fixed price with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026, and will be performed at the contractor's facility in Fridley, Minnesota.
This procurement supports the VA's mission to ensure veterans receive comprehensive cardiac surgical care by restoring essential operating room capability at a major medical center. Medtronic Inc., a global medical technology company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is an established federal healthcare supplier with extensive experience providing surgical implants, imaging systems, and specialized medical devices to the VA system and Defense Health Agency. The company currently maintains a $600 million indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs for surgical implants and related products through December 2028, which serves as the foundational contracting vehicle for numerous purchase orders across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks. No set-aside designation was used for this award.
