6515 - Brand Name Only - Zoll Defibrillator CaseReview Software

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 is seeking to procure CaseReview Software subscriptions for Zoll Defibrillator devices through a brand-name-only solicitation. This combined synopsis and solicitation is for commercial products and services under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12, and the procurement is restricted to Zoll CaseReview software due to its unique technical compatibility with the VA's existing Zoll R-Series and X-Series defibrillators installed in 2020. The contract requires 74 units (subscriptions or licenses) annually for in-premise software installation, with annual subscriptions including phone support and online documentation available 24/7, plus updates and upgrades. The evaluation criteria is price only, as this is an unrestricted procurement for a commercial product. The offer due date is May 12, 2026 at 2:00 PM PDT, and inquiries should be directed to Contracting Officer Derek Brown at derek.brown7@va.gov.

This procurement is not set aside for any particular business category; however, the VA's market research identified only one authorized Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) distributor for the brand-name requirement, meaning the VA Rule of Two is not satisfied. The contract base period runs from June 10, 2026 through June 9, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods extending through June 9, 2031, for a total potential contract value of $47 million. Zoll is the incumbent and sole qualified vendor for this requirement based on the proprietary nature of their software's interface with the installed defibrillators. Payment will be made via electronic funds transfer with yearly invoices submitted to the Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas. The place of performance is VA Palo Alto Health Care System located at 3801 Miranda Avenue, Palo Alto, California 94304.
