About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 seeks 96 units of Zoll SurePower Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Packs for the VA Maryland Healthcare System, with quotes due August 14, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. This is an SDVOSB set-aside, foreclosing competition outside that category.
Place of performance is 31 Hopkins Place, Baltimore, Maryland 21201. Battery packs must be technically equivalent to the Zoll SurePower system with these salient characteristics: 5.8 Ah capacity, high-density lithium-ion chemistry, RunTime Indicator, automatic calibration capability, and history storage of use and maintenance. Only new equipment will be accepted. The contractor must identify any missing parts required for successful installation and validation, and remove the facility's current battery packs. VA biomed technicians will perform the actual replacement work.
The NAICS code is 334510, Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The PSC code is 6515, Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies.
For used battery disposal, the VA requires a single shipment using a DOT-approved, prepaid mail-back container with return labels, packaging, instructions, and a Certificate of Recycling included. Evaluation will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures based on three factors: technical merit, past performance, and price. Offerors must provide product brochures, specifications, distributor letters where applicable, country of origin documentation, and Buy American certifications. Prices must be held firm for 60 calendar days from the response date. The contracting officer is Alison Klein, 304-623-3461 x4143, Alison.Klein@va.gov. Amendment 0001, effective August 4, clarified the quantity at 96 units of model 8019-0535-01.

RESPONSES TO RFIS RECEIVED:
does VA prefer a single bulk return container, or individual return labels per pack?
Will VA consolidate the used packs for one pickup, or will they ship in batches?
Note: used lithium-ion packs ship as DOT-regulated material (UN3480 / UN3481). Rather than supply a bare label, we would provide a DOT-approved, prepaid mail-back container with the return label, packaging, instructions, and a Certificate of Recycling included. Please confirm that satisfies the requirement.
Answer: The VA prefers shipping versus pickup. VA prefers a single shipment that is DOT-approved, prepaid mail-back container with the return label, packaging, instructions, and a Certificate of Recycling included.
Update #3 ·
RFI: Battery Disposal & Installation
Our VA biomed technicians will replace the batteries. Once complete, we can notify the vendor to pick-up or ship them if the contractor provide shipping labels.

Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. As a minimum, offers shall include
(1)Â The solicitation number;
(2)Â The name, address, telephone number of the Offeror;
(3)Â The Offeror s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator;

(c)Â Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.
(1)Â Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.
(2)Â Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is late and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.
(3)Â If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.
(4)Â Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.
(d)Â Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror s initial offer should contain the Offeror s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
(e)Â Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:
(1)Â The agency s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror s offer.
(2)Â The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Offeror and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror.
(3)Â The overall ranking of all Offerors when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.
(4)Â A summary of the rationale for award.
(5)Â For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful Offeror.
(6)Â Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed Offeror as to whether the agency followed source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities.
