6515--Mira Q Imaging Upgrade & 15MHZ Epicardiac Probe

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, through its Network Contracting Office (NCO) 19 in Greenwood Village, Colorado, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source procurement for specialized cardiac surgery equipment. The notice indicates the VA plans to procure medical imaging equipment from Medistim USA, Inc., a large business manufacturer located in Plymouth, Minnesota. The procurement includes one MiraQ Imaging Upgrade Module and two 15MHZ Epicardiac Probes, which are components of a precision cardiac surgery system that provides epicardial imaging, transit time flow measurement, and epiaortic imaging capabilities to enhance surgical precision. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) with a business size standard of 1,000 employees.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the VA's intention to conduct a sole source award rather than a competitive procurement, while providing an opportunity for other capable suppliers to demonstrate their ability to meet the government's requirements. Interested parties must submit their capability information and relevant documentation by 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on August 20, 2025, to Contract Specialist Chris Hollingsworth via email. The notice explicitly states this is not a request for competitive quotes, and responses must clearly demonstrate the capability to supply the specified medical equipment and associated services. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award or open the procurement to competition based on the responses received. All potential costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice are at their own risk, as the government assumes no responsibility for such expenses.
