DESCRIPTION

THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS AND SOLICITATION NOTICE OF TIERED EVALUATIONS: This procurement action for medical/surgical prime vendor (MSPV) items is set-aside based on an order of priority as established in 38 U.S.C. 8127. TIERED EVALUATIONS INCLUDING LARGE BUSINESS CONCERNS: This solicitation is being issued as a tiered evaluation with the following tiers: (1) SDVOSB concerns, (2) VOSB concerns, (3) small business concerns with HUBZone small business concerns and 8(a) participants having priority; and (4) large business concerns.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is publishing this Request for Quotes (RFQ) on December 18, 2025, for the acquisition of consumable commodities in support of the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor (MSPV) Program catalogue. The MSPV Program is a partnering effort between Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA) and the VA Office of Acquisition, Logistics & Construction (OALC) to deliver a national strategic sourcing solution that combines a formulary approach with electronic cataloging and ordering of a wide range of medical and surgical supplies for the Veterans Administration Medical Centers (VAMC) and related facilities. The establishment of Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) is in direct support of this initiative and is a key element in the success of the MSPV Program, as the BPAs will provide the mechanism that will supply the types of supplies for distribution to all VHA facilities located in the United States (U.S.) and all U.S. Territories. In order to support the MSPV Program, the VA will establish BPAs for medical/surgical supplies through Open Market BPAs under FAR Part 12. This solicitation is structured as a tiered evaluation to maximize Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business (SD/VOSB) participation. Quotations will be evaluated based on technical criteria and price. VHA clinicians will participate in evaluating all supplier quotations and awards will be made using comparative analysis.

In order for an authorized distributor/supplier to participate in the MSPV Program, the authorized distributor/supplier and the Prime Vendor shall establish a Commercial Agreement within 60 days of award. The Commercial Agreement will govern the terms and conditions of the authorized distributor/supplier relationship and will not contradict the underlying terms and conditions established by this BPA or the underlying MSPV Contract. See Statement of Work for further details.

The MSPV Program recognizes that various NAICS codes may/can be used for this procurement. The standard/typical NAICS code for surgical/medical supplies manufacturing (not including medical instruments or equipment) is 339113. Any future amendments and other miscellaneous documents will be available electronically for download at the following URL: http://www.sam.gov. No paper copies of the presolicitation/solicitation will be available, and no telephone requests for paper copies of the presolicitation/solicitation will be accepted. Interested Quoters are advised to continuously check the URL for any changes to this solicitation. All responsible sources may submit an offer that, if received NLT the due date, will be given full consideration.
