About this file

This special notice from the Department of Veterans Affairs announces the agency's intent to sole source a contract with Knight Mechanical Testing for mechanical testing and FDA regulatory approval application reports. The San Francisco VA Medical Center requires mechanical testing and reports in accordance with applicable ISTO and ASTM standards to submit an investigational device exemption application for a novel VA hip implant. Testing must evaluate micromotion, implant migration, and fatigue. Reports must adhere to FDA IDE submission standards. Knight Mechanical Testing co-developed the required tests and protocol with VA researchers and is the sole provider capable of performing the uniquely designed mechanical tests. Interested parties may submit capability statements by September 19, 2023 detailing how their services meet the requirement.
