The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 (VISN 9), has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract to Shockwave Medical, Inc., a medical device company specializing in intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) products. The single-award, indefinite delivery contract (IDC) is valued at up to $3,043,750 and has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2029.
The purpose of this contract is to provide the VA's medical facilities within VISN 9, including the Lexington, Louisville, Memphis, and Mountain Home VA Medical Centers, as well as the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System in Nashville, with Shockwave's specialized IVL catheters and related accessories. IVL technology uses sonic pressure waves to safely break up calcified plaque in coronary and peripheral arteries, improving blood flow and patient outcomes. This sole-source contract was awarded without competition, as Shockwave Medical was determined to be the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements for these medical devices. The contract includes firm-fixed-price delivery orders, the first of which was valued at $44,000 for IVL catheters to be used in Fremont, California through October 2026.
