DESCRIPTION
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VHA Regional Procurement Office Central, Great Lakes Acquisition Center, Network Contracting Office 12, located at 115 S. 84th Street, Suite 101, Milwaukee, WI 53214-1476, hereby announces its intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Biosense Webster, Inc., located at 31 Technology Drive, Suite 200, Irvine, CA 92618-2302. This procurement is for the purchase of Varipulse Catheters and Varipulse Treatment Interface Cables. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this requirement is 339113, Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing.
The Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, located at 5000 W. National Avenue, Milwaukee, WI, 53295-0001, requires electrophysiology (EP) catheters for use with the Biosense Webster CARTO 3 System, which is already in use at the medical center. The CARTO 3 System integrates with the Varipulse platform, a Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) platform, enhancing procedural efficiency and safety in comprehensive atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment.
Biosense Webster, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, is the only manufacturer capable of supplying these specialized EP catheters. Utilizing brand-name products ensures compatibility with existing equipment, eliminates the risk of substantial duplication of costs, and prevents unacceptable delays in fulfilling critical clinical requirements. Therefore, this procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source.
This notice fulfills the requirement under FAR 5.201(b)(1) to publicize the proposed contract action. This is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation documents are available. Interested parties may submit written notice to Stacy.Massey@va.gov by 5:00 PM EST on June 27, 2025. Submissions must include sufficient detail to demonstrate the capability to meet the specific requirements. This information will be considered at no cost or obligation to the Government. While the Government will review all responses, the final decision to engage in a competitive process remains solely at the Government's discretion.
Inquiries should be directed via email to Stacy.Massey@va.gov. No telephone inquiries will be accepted. Responses must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be beneficial to the Government for future procurements.
