6515--Fluent System and RF Controller Model | Pittsburgh VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) is seeking to procure specialized medical equipment for the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center through a total small business set-aside solicitation. Specifically, the procurement includes a NovaSure Endometrial Ablation System and Fluent Fluid Management System, comprising one NovaSure Ablation RF Controller Model 10, one Fluent Fluid Management System, one Myosure Device, and one Fluent Disposable Pack. The solicitation (RFQ 36C24425Q0088) requires vendors to provide a comprehensive system with multiple components, including a sterile single-patient use disposable device, RF controller, foot switch, power cord, and associated accessories. Vendors must submit their quotes by December 11, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST, with quotes to be emailed directly to the Contracting Officer. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the solicitation appears to be a brand-name requirement with precise equipment specifications.

The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, specifically within the Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing NAICS category (339112). The place of performance is Pittsburgh, PA 15240, with the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System as the receiving organization. An amendment to the original solicitation has added two trade-in line items: a Hologic-Aquilex and an RFC9 Controller, each valued at $1,000.00. The procurement involves acquiring one unit of each specified medical device, indicating a relatively small-scale, specialized equipment purchase. While the exact total contract value is not specified, the inclusion of trade-in credits suggests a potential offset to the equipment's purchase price. The solicitation falls under Product Service Code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, and is structured to meet the specific medical technology needs of the VA healthcare facility.
