6515 - Brand Name Only: Duet EP/OAE by Intelligent Hearing Systems

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 4 is seeking to procure a brand-name Intelligent Hearing Systems Duet EP/OAE Platform system for the Lebanon VA Medical Center in Pennsylvania. This procurement is designated as brand-name only, meaning the government is specifically requiring the Duet system from Intelligent Hearing Systems rather than accepting equivalent alternatives. The full solicitation (No. 36C24425Q0749) will be posted on www.sam.gov around June 13, 2025, and responses are due by June 13, 2025 at 4:30 PM Eastern Time. Potential offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and are responsible for monitoring the website for the solicitation package and any amendments. All questions must be submitted in writing to Contract Specialist Nathan Lohr at nathan.lohr@va.gov, with no telephone inquiries accepted. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) and product service code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified as unrestricted, meaning it is open to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors for this equipment. No award values, budget ranges, or specific quantities are disclosed in the available documentation, as this information will likely be included in the full solicitation when released. The notice explicitly states that it does not obligate the government to award a contract or reimburse any proposal preparation costs, and the government reserves the right not to issue a solicitation based on this notice. The procurement appears to be for a single Duet system based on the language used, though specific quantities and delivery timelines will be detailed in the forthcoming solicitation.
