6515--ACIST Contrast Dye Injectors for the Minneapolis VA

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 is issuing a Pre-solicitation Notice for the procurement of ACIST Contrast Dye Injectors for the Minneapolis VA Health Care System. The government intends to award this as a sole source purchase order to B2H Consulting Group LLC, which is identified as the sole authorized distributor for ACIST Medical Systems. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items, with the equipment being required due to its proprietary nature and specific compatibility with existing VA cardiology department systems. Interested vendors may submit capability statements that must include their Unique Entity Identification Number (UEI), Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), documentation proving authorized distributor/reseller status, and an active SAM.gov registration. The evaluation will focus on establishing vendors' bona-fide capabilities for fulfilling the requirement, though the government reserves full discretion to determine whether to compete the contract. All responses must be submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Traci Johannes at traci.johannes@va.gov by 4:30 PM CST on August 15, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all responsible sources. B2H Consulting Group LLC is positioned as the incumbent contractor, being identified as the sole authorized distributor for the required ACIST Medical Systems equipment. The estimated contract value is $933,400 for the procurement of four ACIST CVi Contrast Dye Injectors. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). The government has established a very tight timeline, with only two days between the posting date of August 13, 2025, and the response deadline of August 15, 2025.
