The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center canceled Solicitation 36C10G26R0009 for NX EQ Image-Guided Surgical Navigation Systems on May 6, 2026, because the Government did not receive complete and responsive proposals and therefore cannot make a contract award at this time. The Government reserves the right to resolicit this requirement in the future and encourages interested vendors to monitor SAM.gov for related procurement opportunities.

The original solicitation, posted April 2, 2026, with a May 8 proposal deadline, was an unrestricted commercial items procurement under FAR Part 12 and Part 15 for a nationwide Requirements contract with a 12-month base period and four 12-month option periods.

NAICS code 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) and PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies) applied.

The contract required new OEM equipment only; no refurbished, remanufactured, or gray market items were acceptable. Offerors had to be authorized OEM dealers, distributors, or resellers with proper manufacturer authorization documentation. Delivery was FOB Destination with free-on-board shipping capped at $25 per item for instruments and accessories. The contract embedded a 3.0 percent Service Level Agreement fee in all offered prices, with quarterly sales reports due 60 days after fiscal quarter close and monthly sales reports due by the 5th of each month.

Salient characteristics required a minimum 27-inch touchscreen monitor, real-time 3D image navigation with fusion capabilities, interfacing with MRI, CT, ultrasound, C-arm, and O-arm systems, optical and electromagnetic tracking, FDA 510(k) approval, and minimum one-year manufacturer warranty.
