The device is a portable sleep monitoring unit powered by a single AAA battery (1.5V DC) with dimensions of 60mm x 55mm x 18mm and original equipment manufacturer part number AC2150800. Responses to this market research notice are due by 3:00 PM Central Time on May 21, 2026, to francisco.mendoza@va.gov. The VA's primary objective is to gather information on potential sources to determine the appropriate procurement strategy, including whether to set-aside the future solicitation for small businesses, establish a sole-source contract, or conduct unrestricted competition.
Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and must be authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers with direct OEM authorization and warranty support. The VA is particularly interested in identifying Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), or other small business manufacturers and distributors capable of providing the item, preferably with U.S. manufacturing. Responses should include business name and address, point of contact information, SAM UID number, NAICS code (339113), business size classification, business type designation, proof of OEM authorization for distributors, and any existing GSA or VA Federal Supply Schedule contract numbers. Vendors are also requested to provide estimated market research pricing to assist the Government in determining procurement strategy and fair and reasonable pricing benchmarks. This notice is informational only and responses do not constitute binding offers.
