About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Carl Vinson VA Medical Center, issued an Intent to Award a single-award SDVOSB sole source contract to Melling Medical LLC for one Lumenis BE Digital Trio All-in-One Laser System, with a response deadline of July 28, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST. This procurement is restricted to SDVOSB vendors under VAAR 819.7007 sole source authority.
Market research confirmed the existing ophthalmic laser system is end-of-life and requires replacement. The Lumenis BE Digital Trio is the only platform capable of providing the integrated SLT/YAG/photocoagulation clinical capabilities required. Lumenis BE, Inc. (a large business) manufactures the system in the United States, and Melling Medical LLC is the sole authorized SDVOSB distributor in the U.S. market. No other SDVOSB, VOSB, small business, or large business suppliers identified in SAM.gov can provide the required brand-name system or functionally equivalent items meeting clinical specifications. Clinical Resource Hub ophthalmology consultation confirmed the Lumenis system is the only clinically acceptable solution.
Interested parties who believe they can provide functionally equivalent systems may submit capability statements by email to Contracting Officer Darius Crane at darius.crane@va.gov by July 28, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST. Price reasonableness will be evaluated against prior VA purchases. This procurement falls below the $7.5 million SDVOSB sole source threshold.

Special Notice Intent to Award SDVOSB Sole Source (VAAR 819.7007)
Title
Intent to Sole Source Lumenis BE Digital Trio Laser System for Carl Vinson VA Medical Center
Agency / Office

Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Carl Vinson VA Medical Center, intends to award a single award, open market SDVOSB sole source contract to Melling Medical LLC for the purchase of one (1) Lumenis BE Digital Trio All in One Laser System, required for integrated SLT/YAG/photocoagulation ophthalmic procedures.
Market research conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10 and VAAR 810 confirmed that:
The current operating room ophthalmic laser system is end of life and requires replacement.
The Lumenis BE Digital Trio is the only platform capable of providing the required SLT/YAG/photocoagulation capabilities in a single clinically integrated system.
The product is manufactured in the United States by Lumenis BE, Inc., a large business.
Melling Medical LLC (SDVOSB) is the sole authorized distributor able to provide this system in the U.S. market.
No other SDVOSB, VOSB, small business, or large business suppliers were identified in SAM.gov capable of providing the required brand name system or an equal item. Therefore, the VA intends to award this requirement as an SDVOSB Sole Source in accordance with VAAR 819.7007.
Justification for Sole Source
The Government determined that only one responsible SDVOSB source Melling Medical LLC is capable of providing the required brand name item. No equal products meet clinical specifications. The manufacturer s distribution model restricts authorized U.S. sales to this SDVOSB vendor. Clinical Resource Hub ophthalmology consultation confirmed the Lumenis system is the only clinically acceptable solution.
This action falls below the $7.5 million SDVOSB sole source threshold, and price reasonableness will be evaluated against prior VA purchases.
Place of Performance
Carl Vinson VA Medical Center
