6515--EMERGENCY ORDER - Endocavity Transducers

The Special Notice is a Federal Contract Opportunity issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VA VHA VISN 10) for an emergency procurement of medical imaging equipment. Specifically, the notice covers the urgent acquisition of 12 E14C4t Triplane and 12 E14CL4b Biplane Endocavity Transducers from BK Medical Holding Company, Inc. The procurement is being conducted under a Limited Sources Justification due to an immediate need at the Cleveland VA Medical Center, where six existing probes are currently out for repair. The total contract value is $425,712, with the order falling under NAICS code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. The contract was awarded through VA NAC Contract Number 36H79719D0011, which provides fair and reasonable pricing for the government.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to address an urgent and compelling medical equipment requirement for performing trans-perineal procedures, particularly prostate biopsies and cancer diagnostics. The notice includes a response deadline of December 31, 2024, at 5:00 PM ET, with the point of contact being Adam P. Weber, Supply Team Manager, who can be reached at adam.weber@va.gov or 937-268-6511. The procurement is an unrestricted contract, meaning multiple contractors could potentially participate, though in this instance, BK Medical was the sole source due to the specific technical requirements of their equipment. The order requires electronic invoice submission through VA's Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment System and mandates delivery within 3 days of order receipt. Contractors interested in similar future opportunities should note the specific product specifications, which in this case require compatibility with the existing BK Activ system and software.
