2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This is a new requirement for the replacement of the patient positioning laser system for use in surgery simulation of veterans.

This technology is only available on ValleyLabTM generators and drives all electrosurgical and advanced bipolar functions.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Searched FPDS of all historical procurements since 2017, which yielded Six (6) purchases five (5) from VHSS and one (1) from Medtronic’s. Search of SBA VetCert database using NAICS code 334510 yielded 309 possible vendors, search of VIP VetBiz database using NAICS code 334510 yielded 180 possible vendors. Searched VA NAC Medsurg database which yield current/valid VA National contract # 36F79721D0175. Further searched GSA Advantage which yielded no results, and GSA eLIBRARY using 36F79721D0175 which yield VHSS as an authorized distributor for Medtronic’s. I placed a call to Medtronic’s (OEM) 1-800-962-9888 requesting a list of authorized distributors and was referred to sales rep. Mark Osterman (314-378-3437 / Mark.A.osterman@medtronic.com) as the POC. I sent the sales rep an email requesting confirmation of authorized Vet Owned distributors.
