About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 20, supporting the Portland VA Healthcare System, has issued a sources sought notice to conduct market research for Natus Clavis EMG/STIM devices and related consumables used for high-fidelity diagnostic EMG recording and therapeutic nerve stimulation. The VA is seeking to identify qualified small business concerns capable of providing these handheld electromedical devices, which must meet specific technical requirements including compact dimensions (3.2" W x 0.8" D x 5.5" H), alkaline battery operation, ACNS clinical compliance, and include a 12-month warranty. This market research initiative aims to determine the availability of qualified small businesses and assess whether sufficient numbers of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a), Women-Owned Small Business, or Small Disadvantaged Business concerns exist for this procurement. The sources sought notice falls under NAICS code 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. Interested vendors must submit their capability statements via email to Krystal Weeks by 2:00 PM Pacific Time on August 20, 2025, clearly describing their management experience, equipment, personnel capabilities, and compliance with federal, state, and local municipal codes.

This sources sought notice does not specify any current set-aside designations, as the VA is using this market research to determine the appropriate procurement method and potential set-aside opportunities for any future solicitation. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, nor are any specific award values, budget ranges, or quantities of devices specified in this preliminary market research phase. The notice emphasizes that this is purely an information-gathering exercise and not a request for proposals or pricing, with responses being used solely to inform procurement strategy decisions. The VA has indicated that any formal solicitation resulting from this market research will be posted separately on SAM.gov, and failure to respond to this sources sought notice will not preclude participation in future procurement opportunities. The compressed timeline from posting on August 14, 2025, to the response deadline of August 20, 2025, provides interested vendors with only six days to prepare and submit their capability statements.
