6515--Endoscopic Camera Head & Accessories

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is seeking to procure specialized endoscopic medical equipment for the Marion VA Medical Center. The solicitation (Number 36C25525Q0378) focuses on acquiring specific Stryker brand medical instruments, including 2 AIM 4K Camera Heads with Integrated Coupler, 2 Camera Sterilization Trays, and 2 SafeLight Fiber Optic Cables with Advanced Imaging Modality. The procurement will utilize a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, which means the contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced proposal that meets all technical requirements. Vendors must provide an authorized distributor letter from Stryker and comply with the specified technical specifications for these surgical instruments. The proposal submission deadline is June 3, 2025, at 08:00 CDT, with a required 1-year manufacturer's warranty on the equipment.

While the solicitation is not specifically set aside for a particular small business category, it falls under the Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing NAICS code 334510. The total procurement includes 2 packages of each specified item, to be delivered directly to the Marion VA Medical Center in Illinois. The equipment is intended for urology and general surgical procedures, suggesting a focus on advanced medical imaging and instrumentation. The contract appears to be relatively low-value, given the limited quantity of items being purchased. The specification of autoclavable equipment indicates a requirement for sterilizable instruments that can withstand high-temperature medical cleaning processes. The procurement aims to upgrade or replace existing surgical equipment with modern, high-resolution imaging technology for medical procedures.
