The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7, through the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System, seeks procurement of surgical-grade instruments for the Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center operating room, with proposals due June 1, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. EDT. This is a 100% small business set-aside.

Place of performance is the Atlanta VAMC Campus Warehouse at 1670 Clairmont Road, Decatur, Georgia. The procurement encompasses 47 line items of surgical instrumentation including blunt blades in multiple sizes and colors, paddle blades, tooth blades in short and long variants, micro blades, retractors, cervical depth gauges, distraction screwdrivers, and instrument trays. All instruments must be surgical-grade stainless steel, autoclavable, clearly marked with catalog numbers and barcodes, rust-resistant, and capable of withstanding repeated sterilization. Items must be delivered unsterilized. This solicitation is a repost of 36C24726Q0533 after no SDVOSB responses were received to the prior version.

The procurement background reflects a September 2025 incident in which non-surgical-grade instruments were inadvertently mixed with surgical-grade instruments, requiring removal of 10,313 non-conforming instruments from 1,441 surgical trays. The NAICS code is 339112, Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing; PSC is 6515. Equipment carries a one-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Payment terms are NET 30 after delivery and approval. Offerors must include manufacturing location information in proposals and are encouraged to offer American-made products, which will receive preference if technically acceptable and priced fairly.
