The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 is procuring three units of Stryker Crossflow Arthroscopic Shaver Systems for operating room use. This is a brand-name-only procurement, as amended on February 3, 2026, requiring equipment that meets specific technical specifications including dimensions of 12-13 inches wide by 6-8 inches high by 17 inches deep, a weight of 24 pounds, operation on 100-240V power supporting 50/60 Hz frequency, a maximum motor speed of 600 RPM, and pressure ranges of 0-150 mm Hg. The equipment will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method as the evaluation criterion. The solicitation number is 36C25226Q0218, with an offer due date of February 5, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST. Interested vendors must complete all solicitation sections including Section B with handwritten signatures and submit documentation to the contracting officer, Mack Taylor, at mack.taylor2@va.gov.

This procurement has no set-aside designation and is restricted to Stryker brand equipment only, as competing manufacturers including Dual Wave, Invamed, Conmed, and Richard Wolf were evaluated but determined to be incompatible with the facility's existing Stryker equipment and disposable items. The estimated contract value is $36,967.83 for a firm-fixed-price purchase order. Delivery shall occur within the timeframe specified by the vendor to the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital warehouse in Hines, Illinois, and the contract includes a one-year warranty with no installation required. The contract incorporates standard FAR clauses addressing Buy American requirements, security prohibitions related to covered telecommunications equipment, and various compliance certifications regarding labor standards and equal opportunity. Invoices must be submitted electronically in arrears upon receipt of equipment to the Department of Veterans Affairs Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas.
