About this award
The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 awarded a $398,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to O R Elder Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in New York City, on April 30, 2026. The contract calls for the supply, installation, and commissioning of two ALCON UNITY Vitreoretinal Cataract System units to Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas, with delivery required within 60 days of order. The specialized ophthalmic surgical equipment is designed to perform both anterior segment phacoemulsification and posterior segment pars plana vitrectomy procedures, featuring Intelligent Fluidics Functionality to maintain consistent intraocular pressure during surgery. The contract includes all necessary electrical interfacing, complimentary staff training, government acceptance testing, and a projected delivery schedule addressing system verification, manufacture, delivery, and installation milestones.
This procurement was justified as a sole source acquisition under 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1), with the contracting activity determining that Alcon is the only manufacturer offering both anterior and posterior surgical capabilities in a single machine, and that space constraints at the medical center precluded installation of multiple equipment brands. O R Elder Inc. is an established provider of mission-critical ophthalmic equipment to federal healthcare agencies, currently holding significant indefinite delivery contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs valued at $7.58 million for Alcon phacoemulsification units and $6.2 million for Alcon vitrectomy units, as well as a $1.9 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Defense Health Agency. No set-aside designation was used for this award, which carries an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026.
