About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 is procuring ZOLL Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for Basic Life Support (BLS) equipment to replace end-of-life defibrillator units at the Lt. Col. Luke Weathers, Jr. VAMC in Memphis, Tennessee. These medical devices will be used by clinical staff and emergency responders to provide immediate defibrillation treatment during sudden cardiac arrest events. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) order under FAR 8.405-6, which permits direct ordering when unique or proprietary characteristics make only one source capable of meeting requirements. Interested parties must submit technical documentation demonstrating compatibility with existing ZOLL defibrillator systems, accessories, batteries, electrode pads, and biomedical equipment management systems currently deployed at the facility. The deadline for responses is April 9, 2025, at 11:59 PM CST, with inquiries directed to Contract Specialist Mario Russell at mario.russell@va.gov or (615-226-6774).
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is intended to be awarded to After Action Dental Supply LLC, an authorized Federal Supply Schedule distributor of ZOLL Medical Corporation products under existing FSS Contract 36F79724D0071. The justification for sole source procurement emphasizes that maintaining the existing ZOLL platform avoids costly replacement of accessories, unnecessary staff retraining, and modifications to biomedical maintenance procedures that would result from switching manufacturers. The applicable NAICS code is 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees, and the Product Service Code is 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). While specific award values and quantity details are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement is focused on equipment replacement rather than new system implementation, suggesting a defined scope tied to current facility inventory levels.
Notice text
Notice of Intent to Sole Source
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to award a sole source Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) order to After Action Dental Supply LLC under FSS Contract 36F79724D0071 for the procurement of ZOLL Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for Basic Life Support (BLS) to replace existing defibrillator units that have reached end-of-life status.
The required equipment is manufactured by ZOLL Medical Corporation and is necessary to support emergency response operations within the VA medical facility. These devices are used by clinical staff and emergency responders to provide immediate defibrillation treatment during sudden cardiac arrest events.
The Government intends to procure these devices from After Action Dental Supply LLC, an authorized distributor of ZOLL Medical Corporation products under the Federal Supply Schedule program. Maintaining the existing ZOLL defibrillator platform ensures compatibility with current accessories, batteries, electrode pads, and biomedical equipment management systems currently deployed within the facility. Replacing the system with another manufacturer would require replacement of accessories, retraining of staff, and modification of biomedical maintenance procedures, resulting in duplication of cost and operational disruption.
This procurement is being conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.405-6, which allows for placement of an order against a Federal Supply Schedule contract when only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required due to unique or proprietary characteristics.
The applicable NAICS Code is 339112 Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,000 employees.

Responses must be received no later than 11:59 PM CST on April 9, 2025 and should be submitted via email to: mario.russell@va.gov
