6515--Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP)

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source contract to E3 Diagnostics for Virtualis Motion VR Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) equipment. The procurement is specifically targeted for the VA's Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Department to quantitatively measure and assess patient balance and equilibrium. This special notice falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334519 for Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing. The notice is not a formal request for proposal or quote, but rather an informational notice about the VA's procurement intentions. The procurement will be conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) for Single Source Awards.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to procure specialized medical diagnostic equipment for evaluating patients with dizziness and balance disorders. Contractors interested in providing input must submit questions or comments to Contracting Officer Steven MacDonald via email (steven.macdonald@va.gov) by March 7, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. Central Time, with the subject line referencing notice of intent 36C25220Q0310. While the VA is currently pursuing a sole source contract with E3 Diagnostics, they will consider responses to determine if a competitive procurement might be more appropriate. The government maintains full discretion in making this determination and will not reimburse any costs associated with response preparation. The procurement is managed by the VA's Great Lakes Acquisition Center and is intended to enhance the ENT Department's ability to diagnose and treat patients with balance-related medical conditions.
