6515--InnoWave Sonic Irrigator

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 is soliciting the procurement of a Steris InnoWave Sonic Irrigator, specifically the InnoWave Unity 20 Sonic Irrigator model, for the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System. This brand name only procurement includes both the medical device (208V 60Hz) and complete installation services, encompassing uncrating, set-in-place assembly, operational check-out, adjustments, and demonstration for facility personnel. The solicitation is issued under procurement number 36C25725Q0806 and falls under NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6515 (Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies). Installation must be performed during non-patient care hours or on weekends and holidays to avoid disrupting patient care operations. The proposal submission deadline is August 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central Daylight Time, with Contract Specialist Lesley Kitchen serving as the primary point of contact.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a size standard of 1000 employees, despite conflicting information in one document suggesting it is not set aside for SBA participants. The single source justification indicates the estimated contract value falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000, and market research has identified at least two capable Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses available for this procurement. The contract requires delivery and installation of one InnoWave Unity 20 Sonic Irrigator within 30 days of award. Performance will take place at the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System facility located at 1901 Veterans Memorial Drive, Building 208, Room 119, Temple, Texas 76504. The new sonic washer will enhance existing sterilization processing services that currently support facilities in Temple, Waco, and Austin, Texas, providing standardized equipment to eliminate additional training requirements and maintain consistent engineering and maintenance protocols.
