The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source contract for a CARDIHELP ECMO Pump. The Miami VA Medical Center Contracting office plans to issue a firm fixed-price contract to Getinge USA Sales, LLC using other-than-competitive procedures authorized under VAAR 819.7007. The estimated contract value is approximately $105,246.53, with an anticipated award date on or before September 4, 2025. This acquisition falls under Product Service Code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies and NAICS Code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. The contracting officer has determined that Getinge USA Sales, LLC is the authorized provider for the required medical equipment.

The primary purpose of this Notice of Contract Action (NOCA) is to inform industry participants of the VA's procurement intent rather than to solicit competitive bids or quotes. While this is not a formal solicitation, responsible sources may submit capabilities statements for consideration in future procurement opportunities, though such submissions create no binding obligation on the agency. Interested parties must submit any written responses via email to Contracting Officer David Henry by 2:00 PM EST on September 12, 2025. The VA will not provide reimbursement for any costs associated with responding to this notice or subsequent information requests. Companies seeking to participate in future similar procurements should demonstrate their capabilities and qualifications through written correspondence, understanding that this notice serves primarily as market awareness rather than an immediate contracting opportunity.
