The procurement encompasses three distinct medical device items: 13 USB Control Box Kits with 1.9MM Catheter (Part #FIS-007USK), 2 USB Control Boxes (Part #FIS-007UB), and 2 Inspection Scopes 200CM L (Part #CT-104). Interested vendors must submit their response by November 18, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time via email to marcus.gasper@va.gov, including their business name, point of contact information, Unique Entity ID (SAM), capability statement, and socioeconomic status. This is a Sources Sought inquiry only and may not result in a formal solicitation; responses do not constitute binding offers and vendors are responsible for all associated costs. The NAICS code for this requirement is 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), which falls under PSC Category 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).

This procurement carries no set-aside designations and the small business size standard is 1,000 employees.

The specific quantities required are minimal, suggesting this may be a one-time or replacement procurement for specialized medical instrumentation. No formal evaluation criteria have been disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage, as the government is primarily gathering capability and interest information from potential sources. Responses to this notice will not be posted publicly, and interested parties should direct any questions to the contracting officer at the provided email address.
