6515--Notice of Intent to Sole Source Stryker Boom Equipment under the authority of 38 U. S. Code § 8127

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically VISN 7 Contracting Activity, has issued a Special Notice regarding a sole source delivery order for endoscopic medical devices and equipment. The notice is intended to procure brand-specific Stryker Corporation medical instruments through an authorized distributor, TRILLAMED LLC. This procurement will be conducted under the authority of 38 U.S. Code 8127, which provides preferential contracting opportunities for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). TRILLAMED LLC is an SBA certified SDVOSB located in Bingham Farms, Michigan, and has been identified as the sole source vendor for this specific procurement. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 339112 with a size standard of 1,000 employees and is categorized under the PSC code 6515 for medical and surgical instruments.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the VA's intent to issue a firm-fixed price delivery order directly to TRILLAMED LLC without competitive bidding. Contractors who believe they can provide a more advantageous competitive solution must submit clear and convincing evidence via email to corey.webb2@va.gov by 12:00pm CST on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. To challenge the sole source designation, interested parties must demonstrate that competition would be more beneficial to the government. The notice explicitly states that this is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, and no solicitation package is currently available. Eligibility is effectively limited to authorized distributors of Stryker brand endoscopic medical devices, with a strong preference for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The procurement represents an opportunity for SDVOSB vendors to engage directly with the VA through a streamlined, targeted contracting approach.
