About this file
This is a Sources Sought Notice issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System for Impella Heart Pumps. The procurement is for two Smart Assist Heart Pump units with specific technical requirements, including compatibility with existing Impella heart surgery equipment, a heart catheter, axillary insertion kit, vascular access kit, purge cassette, and placement guidewire. The solicitation (36C26225Q0789) targets NAICS code 339112 with a size standard of 1,000 employees and potentially seeks to set aside the contract for Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) if market research identifies two or more qualified vendors.
The Sources Sought Notice will be open for responses until April 16, 2025, at 14:00 Pacific Time, with the intended contract period beginning within 30 days of award. Interested businesses are asked to provide company information, business size classification, and responses to specific qualifying questions. The participating healthcare facility is the VISN 22 West VA Long Beach Healthcare System. Importantly, this notice is not a formal solicitation but a market research tool to help the VA determine potential sources and guide future procurement strategies, with any eventual solicitation to be announced separately on SAM or GSA eBuy.
