6515--646-25-2-233-0226 | Medtronic Bundle IPC System | NCO 4 Commodities 2 | (VA-25-00042215)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is seeking to procure one Medtronic Bundled Integrated Power Console (IPC) System for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. The solicitation (36C24425Q0337) requires a comprehensive bundle including an IPC console, IV pole storage basket, 6-meter power cord, foot switch, and console manual, specifically for endoscopic transnasal sinus procedures in the operating room. The procurement is structured as a one-time firm-fixed price contract with quotes due by February 18, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, to be submitted via email to joanne.skaff@va.gov. Evaluation will be based solely on price, with vendors required to provide an OEM authorization letter if not the original manufacturer. The solicitation emphasizes compatibility with existing Medtronic M5 Microdebrider handpieces, which can only be used with Medtronic IPC systems.

The contract is set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 339112 with a size standard of 1000 employees. The place of performance is Pittsburgh, PA 15240, with delivery specified as FOB destination during business hours (8:00am-3:30pm, Monday-Friday, excluding Federal holidays). The VA currently borrows a similar system from Medtronic and requires an additional unit to run multiple operating rooms simultaneously. Delivery requires coordination with the point of contact, and all items must be shipped together unless pre-approved multiple shipments are necessary. The procurement is a single-source justification under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with market research indicating Medtronic works with two service-disabled/veteran-owned small business partners. Contractors must include the VA purchase order number on packing slips and repair any contractor-caused damage within 90 days at their own expense.
