Salient Characteristics.docx

This is a Salient Characteristics document supporting a Sources Sought notice issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 for the San Francisco VAMC. The document outlines market research requirements for vendors capable of providing Vistualis Motion VR+ with Physio VR (brand name or equal) equipment and services. The NAICS code is 339112 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) with a small business size threshold of 1,000 employees. Interested vendors must submit capability statements, company information, point of contact details, SAM UEI number, socio-economic status documentation, authorized distributor letters (if applicable), and estimated pricing to david.alvarez4@va.gov by July 1, 2026 at 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time. The government is conducting this pre-solicitation market research to assess vendor availability and capability across all business sizes, with no current commitment to award or compensation for responses.

Respondents should verify their SAM registration reflects the correct NAICS code and are encouraged to include socio-economic certifications such as Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) or Women-Owned Small Business status, which will be verified through VetBiz. The government explicitly reserves the right to cancel this requirement at its discretion and will treat all proprietary information confidentially. This notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation. No telephone inquiries will be accepted, and questions submitted will not receive responses at this time.
