6515--Fluent System and RF Controller Model | Brand Name Comparative Evaluation

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 4 is seeking to procure a Fluent System and RF Controller Model for the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center through a pre-solicitation notice. The procurement will be conducted as a brand name or equal acquisition, with the full solicitation expected to be posted on SAM.gov on December 31st, 2024. The contract falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1000 employees. Contract Specialist Mae McGarry will be the primary point of contact, and all questions must be submitted to her via email. Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) before the potential award, and they are responsible for monitoring SAM.gov for the complete solicitation package and any amendments.

The procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside, meaning only small businesses meeting the specified NAICS size standard can compete for the contract. The place of performance will be the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System located on University Drive C in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While the pre-solicitation notice does not specify the exact award value or quantity of equipment required, it indicates a focused procurement for specific medical instrumentation. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the documentation. The solicitation response deadline is set for December 31st, 2024, with potential offerors required to carefully review and download the solicitation package from SAM.gov. The VA emphasizes that this notice does not obligate the government to award a contract or reimburse proposal preparation costs, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process.
