6515--Neptune Smart Docking Station

Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 is preparing to procure one Stryker Neptune Smart Docking Station (model 0770-100-000, 120V) with a Sources Sought Notice response deadline of July 29, 2026 at 4:00 PM Central Time. No set-aside applies.

Performance location is G.V. Sonny Montgomery VA Medical Center, 1500 E Woodrow Wilson Drive, Jackson, Mississippi 39216. The docking station is a stationary base unit that safely empties, cleans, and sanitizes mobile surgical suction rovers (Neptune 3 and Neptune S units only) used during operating room procedures, eliminating manual handling of biohazardous fluids. The system operates on standard 120V AC power (3.0 amps), requires water pressure between 50–120 psi, and connects to facility plumbing via standard garden-hose fittings with a 1.0-inch PVC drain line. Three wash cycle modes are offered: Quick Drain (2 minutes), Standard Wash (5 minutes), and Extended Wash (45–50 minutes). Wi-Fi connectivity enables cloud-based Smart Equipment Management for performance tracking. Equipment must arrive within 60 days of contract award and include one-year warranty for parts and service with replacement guarantee.

Vendors must provide current OEM authorization from Stryker confirming authorized distributor status, OEM parts access, warranty support, and confirmation of no gray-market equipment. All vendor responses must include OEM country-of-manufacture documentation, small or large business classification under NAICS 339113, small business certifications if applicable, GWAC/GSA Schedule/IDIQ/BPA contract identification, FDA listing status with OEM-sealed packaging compliance, and estimated pricing for market research purposes.
