Purchase Order 36C25726P0134

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, awarded a $34,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Edwards Lifesciences LLC for transcatheter heart valves on December 5, 2025, with a completion date of May 31, 2026. The contract was not issued under a set-aside designation. The place of performance is Dallas, Texas, and Edwards Lifesciences LLC, a subsidiary of Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and a recognized small disadvantaged business, serves as the prime contractor and sole manufacturer of the required cardiac devices. This purchase order represents a direct procurement to supply specialized cardiovascular medical equipment supporting veteran healthcare services.

This award reflects the VA's ongoing reliance on Edwards Lifesciences LLC for advanced transcatheter heart valve technologies, consistent with the company's established role as the primary federal supplier of such devices to multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks. Edwards Lifesciences LLC maintains significant contractual relationships with the VA, including two substantial indefinite delivery contracts valued at $2.5 million and $1.25 million respectively, which support the agency's critical need for short shelf-life cardiac devices. The current purchase order aligns with the VA's broader mission to provide advanced cardiovascular interventions and surgical capabilities to veterans across its healthcare system.
