About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 seeks quotes for one UltraSAFE Unit: Automatic Formalin Dispensing System for Cleveland VA Medical Center's Surgical Department, with quotes due September 21, 2026, at 09:00 AM. The procurement is a Total Small Business set-aside, foreclosing competition outside that category.

Place of performance is Cleveland VA Medical Center, 10701 East Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44106. The NAICS code is 333914 (Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing), and the PSC is 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). This is a combined synopsis/solicitation issued as an RFQ for commercial items under FAR subpart 12.6 streamlined procedures; no separate written solicitation document will be issued.

The UltraSAFE system is an automated formalin dispensing device designed to provide zero formalin exposure to operating room staff and patients by automatically dispensing formalin into specialized buckets based on specimen weight. The system includes a touchscreen terminal, integrated scale, barcode reader, thermal label printer, UV lamp for sterilization, and enclosed/vented chamber with charcoal filters. Deliverables include the main unit, plastic buckets (500ml, 3L, 5L, and 10L), formalin fixative containers, installation, operator training, and a 12-month warranty. This is a one-time purchase with delivery schedule to be finalized after contract award. Cleveland VAMC is the only surgical facility within VISN that does not currently have this equipment; a safety department walkthrough identified formalin spill hazards to patients and OR staff as a compliance gap with VA guidelines. Quotes should reference 36C25026Q1047 and be submitted to Kevin Peeples at kevin.peeples@va.gov.
