About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Great Lakes Health Care System, Veterans Integrated Services Network 12, Jesse Brown VAMC in Chicago, IL is conducting market research for medical endoscope equipment through this Sources Sought Notice. The procurement seeks authorized distributors of original equipment manufacturers for specialized endoscopy equipment including three Dri-Scope Aid Jet-Stream BL Series 1840P Kits, two Jet-Cart Drying Systems, three Mounting Bracket Kits, and three Pole Mounts with mounting hardware. Interested vendors must qualify under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and Product Service Code 6515, and must be authorized distributors of the OEM or provide equivalent equipment meeting detailed salient characteristics such as simultaneous scope drying capabilities, HEPA filtration with 99.97% retention rate, hands-free operation, and specific dimensional requirements. Evaluation will focus on demonstration of authorized distributor status, company qualifications including size status and business classifications, and for alternative equipment proposals, supporting literature demonstrating equivalency to specified requirements. Responses must be submitted by July 3, 2025, at 3:00 PM to Rebecca Picchi at Rebecca.picchi@va.gov, and all respondents must be registered in SAM.gov.
This Sources Sought Notice does not designate any specific set-aside category, though it emphasizes small business participation and requires companies to identify their size status and representations such as Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, Veteran Owned Small Business, HUBZone, or Woman Owned Small Business certifications. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are mentioned in the notice, as this is strictly a market research exercise with no guarantee of future solicitation or contract award. The procurement involves specific quantities including three drying kit systems, two cart systems, and three each of mounting brackets and pole mounts, indicating a relatively small-scale acquisition for the VA medical facility. The government emphasizes that this is an informational notice only, with no compensation provided to respondents and no commitment implied for future business opportunities. Companies proposing equivalent equipment must provide detailed product literature at no cost to demonstrate compliance with the extensive technical specifications outlined in the salient characteristics.
