Ophthalmic Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies

Product Service Code (PSC) 6540 encompasses ophthalmic instruments, equipment, and supplies used in eye care diagnostics, treatment, and vision correction. These products include sophisticated medical devices such as slit lamps, retinal cameras, corneal topographers, refractors, surgical microscopes, and optical examination equipment. The category covers both hardware and associated software systems designed for professional use in medical facilities, optometry clinics, and ophthalmology departments across various healthcare settings.

Federal contract awards under PSC 6540 primarily target Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers, Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities, and military healthcare systems. The awards range from $10,000 to $675,000, with most contracts having performance periods between six months and three years. Frequently awarded entities include Superior Optical Labs (a service-disabled veteran-owned small business), Corps Medical Supply, Lombart Brothers, and Proaim Americas. Many awards are set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or total small business categories. The VA's Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) are the most frequent purchasers, with delivery locations spanning across multiple states including California, Virginia, Nebraska, and North Dakota.

Recent federal contract opportunities for PSC 6540 concentrate on advanced ophthalmic diagnostic and surgical equipment. The Indian Health Service has solicited small business vendors for equipment like Haag-Streit slit lamps, TopCon optometry devices, and Eidon retinal scanners for facilities in the Great Plains Area. The Department of Veterans Affairs has posted opportunities for specific brand-name or equivalent systems such as the Centurion Vision System, Optos Silverstone ultra-widefield retinal camera, and corneal topography machines. These opportunities are primarily located in states like Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia, and South Dakota, with most solicitations set aside for small businesses, particularly service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.
