6515--Honeywell Wireless & Tethered Barcode Scanners

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is conducting market research for Honeywell Wireless & Tethered Barcode Scanners through an intent to sole source procurement. Specifically, the Syracuse VA Medical Center seeks two models: a Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g Corded Scanner (Part #1470G2D-2USB-N) and a Honeywell 1962HC USB Kit with white anti-microbial housing (Part #1962HHD-5USB-5-N). The solicitation number 36C24225Q1021 is being managed by Contracting Officer Erskine Shoulars from the VA Network Contracting Office at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in Bronx, NY. Interested vendors must submit detailed company information, small business program eligibility status, capability statements, and responses to 13 specific questions to demonstrate their ability to provide equivalent barcode scanning equipment. The response deadline is September 9, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with a 90-day archive period following the response date. The evaluation will focus on vendors' ability to meet the salient characteristics of the specified equipment, domestic manufacturing capabilities, pricing, and GSA/federal contract status.

This procurement opportunity does not include any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified vendors including manufacturers, distributors, and small businesses under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing). While the notice indicates an intent to sole source from Honeywell, the government is conducting this market research to identify potential domestic sources and equivalent alternatives to the specified equipment. The document does not specify award values, budget ranges, or quantities of scanners required, focusing instead on capability assessment and market analysis. The government emphasizes that this is a market research exercise rather than a formal solicitation and retains flexibility in determining its ultimate acquisition approach based on the responses received. The procurement falls under Product Service Code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, reflecting the specialized nature of the anti-microbial barcode scanning equipment needed for medical facility operations.
