6515--Aesculap Instrument Set

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, specifically the Network Contracting Office 1, has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement of a specialized medical instrument set. The notice pertains to the VA Boston Healthcare System's West Roxbury Campus, which intends to acquire one Aesculap Neurosurgical Instrument Set manufactured by LB Aesculap Inc. The procurement will be executed through Trillamed, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The contract will be awarded utilizing authorities that allow for procurement without full and open competition, specifically under 38 U.S.C 8127(b) and FAR 6.302-5(c)(2)(ii). The procurement is classified under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform potential respondents of the VA's intent to sole source the instrument set procurement to Trillamed, LLC. Contractors have until March 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST to submit responses, which must be emailed directly to Divianna Mathurin, the Contract Specialist. The VA asserts that only the proposed vendor possesses the required capabilities to meet the agency's specific requirements. While the notice is not a competitive solicitation, potential respondents are invited to provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The instrument set will be located at the West Roxbury VA Medical Center, and the procurement is restricted to a single source based on the government's determination that no other supplies or services will satisfy their agency requirements. Telephonic inquiries will not be accepted, and all communication must be conducted via email.
