6515--Brand Name Only Stryker BPX Podiatry Surgical Instruments

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 seeks procurement of replacement Stryker BPX podiatry surgical instruments, with proposals due September 4. This is a brand-name-only procurement with no set-aside, though the justification recommends small business set-aside treatment under FAR Part 12 and 19 given the reasonable expectation of offers from small business concerns.

VA Northern California Health Care System requires a complete Stryker BPX Surgical Instrument Set to replace items damaged between November 2025 and February 2026. The set comprises 12 part numbers in quantities ranging from 1 to 4 units, including saws, drills, batteries, chargers, and related components. VANCHCS has already directly purchased three Stryker-brand components—BPX Micro Drill, Oscillating Saw, and AO Small Drill—and requires the remaining items to complete the integrated set. The justification states no compatible alternatives exist that maintain functionality, performance, and warranty integrity.

Market research was conducted across the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search (which identified 981 SDVOSB and VOSB vendors), VA National Acquisition Center, VA Analytics platform, GSA Advantage, and USASpending.gov, yielding no results for the specific part numbers. The Original Equipment Manufacturer identified two authorized resellers—Trillamed LLC and Beacon Point Associates LLC, both certified as SDVOSBs. The procurement is anticipated to be fair and reasonable based on competition, with provisions for future market surveys to determine if brand-name restrictions can be lifted. NAICS code 339112, Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing; PSC 6515, Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. Acquisition ID 36C261-26-AP-4850.
