About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice (RFI) for the procurement of a Viasonix Falcon Pro OR EQUAL Physiologic Vascular Testing System to replace obsolete peripheral vascular diagnostic equipment at the VA Medical Center in San Diego, California. This is purely an information-gathering initiative to identify capable contractors, particularly small businesses including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), who can supply the required equipment and services. The equipment must meet specific salient characteristics including at least 10 independent pressure channels for blood pressure measurements, at least 5 independent Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, a 10MHz Doppler probe, and the capability to measure Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) and Thoracic Index (TBI), along with a user-friendly interface supporting configurable protocols and reports. Key requirements include complete installation, on-site training, standard manufacturer warranty, information security compliance with VA standards, and FISMA requirements, with all work to be performed during normal duty hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday). Interested contractors must submit written responses by March 9, 2026, at 4:30 PM Pacific Time via email to Dyne.Kim@va.gov, providing company information, SAM registration, small business certifications, authorized distributor status, FDA clearance documentation, pricing for two line items (2 units of Falcon PRO OR EQUAL and 1 unit of Falcon Xpress Office FX9 OR EQUAL), and reference contracts demonstrating prior experience.

This RFI uses no set-aside designation and represents market research only, not a formal solicitation, making it non-binding for the government. The current contractor information is not identified in the notice, though the existing equipment consists of Falcon/Pro and Falcon/Quad systems that have reached end-of-life status after over 10 years of use. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The requirement specifies delivery of 2 units of Falcon PRO OR EQUAL and 1 unit of Falcon Xpress Office FX9 OR EQUAL to the VA San Diego facility, though exact contract values and final procurement timeline will be determined following the market research phase. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide evidence that products are new equipment only from OEM, authorized dealers, or authorized distributors, with explicit prohibition against gray market or remanufactured items. The suggested NAICS code is 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), with the product service code classified as 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).
