6515--646-25-2-233-0201 | Stryker System 9 Components | NCO 4 Commodities 2 (VA-25-00038228)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, through the Network Contracting Office 4 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is procuring Stryker System 9 medical device components for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System's Surgical Services department. The solicitation seeks 2 units each of 10 different specialized components including universal wire/pin collets, chucks, reamers, drill attachments, batteries, and trauma containers used with Stryker System 9 Drill and SABO Sagittal Saw equipment for orthopedic and podiatry surgical procedures. The procurement is justified as a brand-specific requirement due to the integrated, proprietary design of Stryker surgical equipment where substituting non-Stryker components could void warranties and compromise surgical outcomes. Quotes must be submitted via email to Keri Hester by August 8, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST. The solicitation incorporates standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses and requires compliance with Buy American provisions, falling under NAICS code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing.

This procurement is designated as a small business set-aside despite initial market research conducted from January 13-20, 2025, that identified two Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (TrillaMed and Beacon Point Associates) as potential sources. The contracting officer recommended an open market small business approach due to the NMR Rule and unavailability of supplies through mandatory sources, with the size standard set at 800 employees for qualifying businesses. The total procurement involves 20 line items consisting of 2 units each of 10 different medical device components, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation. Performance will occur at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with specific delivery dates to be determined upon contract award. The acquisition supports critical surgical operations at the medical center and ensures continued compatibility with existing Stryker System 9 equipment.
