The contracting office awarded a contract to S.S. White Technologies, Inc. (UEI: N494F926NSA7), located in Saint Petersburg, Florida, for three Universal Broken Stripped Screw Removal System Sets on February 17, 2026.

The justification for the sole source award is based on FAR 6.302-1(c) (Brand Name) authority. The VA Tucson Healthcare System requires the Shukla Trauma-All-In-One System components, specifically the S9MAXI Large Bone Screw Set, S9Screw Removal Screw Set, and S9Nail-BR set, as orthopedic surgical tray kits for removing broken or damaged screws embedded in Veterans' tissue and bones. The current units are broken and require replacement. These items are uniquely designed to integrate with the existing Trauma instrumentation system and have no compatible alternatives from other manufacturers that meet the surgeon's operational requirements.
