6515--Atricure Pro-V Clips| Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (VISN 19), has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source procurement for AtriCure Pro-V Clips. This special notice, solicitation number 36C25926Q0331, was posted on March 25, 2026, and is being managed by the Network Contracting Office in Denver, Colorado. The government intends to award a sole source contract to AtriCure Inc., a large business headquartered in Mason, Ohio. The procurement involves medical device supplies classified under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). The notice provides an opportunity for other interested parties to demonstrate their capability to supply equivalent products before the government finalizes its sole source award decision.

The objective of this procurement is to obtain four variants of AtriClip PRO-V Clips (models PROV35, PROV40, PROV45, and PROV50) with a quantity of three units each for use within the VA facility. The government's justification for sole sourcing is based on market research concluding that no other vendors can supply equipment compatible with the AtriCure AtriClips system already in use at the facility. Interested parties must submit capability statements and supporting documentation by the response deadline of March 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time to Contract Specialist Eric Adusei at eric.adusei@va.gov to challenge the sole source determination. There are no specific set-asides or business size restrictions that would limit participation, though contractors should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to supply the required products. The government reserves the right to make a final determination regarding competition and will not be responsible for any costs incurred by respondents in preparing their submissions.
