About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration is seeking to procure a MuseNx upgrade system for the Thomas E Creek Amarillo VA Healthcare Medical Center. The upgrade involves a brand-name software platform and hardware enhancement for the GE Healthcare MUSE Cardiology Information Management System, which must integrate with existing electrocardiography equipment, Holter monitoring devices, and stress testing systems. The VA intends to issue a sole source award to TrillaMed, LLC under FAR 13.501(a), but is conducting market research to determine if small businesses, particularly Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) or Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs), can provide the required equipment. Interested contractors must submit detailed responses by February 3, 2025, at 8:00 AM Central Time, including business information, authorization credentials, and estimated market pricing. The evaluation will focus on distributor authenticity, with the VA explicitly stating they will not accept gray market items.
The procurement is not currently set aside for any specific business classification, though the VA is actively seeking small business participation. While the exact award value is not specified, contractors are required to submit estimated market research pricing, which will help the contracting officer determine whether small businesses can provide fair and reasonable pricing. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing and PSC code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments. Respondents must provide comprehensive information including business name, address, point of contact details, SAM UID number, NAICS code, business size, business type, and proof of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) authorization. The VA emphasizes a preference for items manufactured in the United States and is particularly interested in identifying potential small business manufacturers or authorized distributors who can meet the specific technical requirements of the MuseNx upgrade system.
