About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 5, is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) and Sources Sought notice to identify capable firms for procuring Oscillation & Lung Expansion Therapy (OLE) equipment, specifically the Volara System 5. This medical device must deliver therapy for at least 10 minutes and provide continuous positive expiratory pressure, high-frequency oscillation, and electronic health record integration capabilities. The VA is particularly interested in responses from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), though all capable firms are encouraged to respond. Respondents must submit their information by 12:00 PM EST on December 22, 2025, to james.ferro@va.gov and should address specific questions posed in the Sources Sought document while identifying any ambiguities in the requirements. The VA will use market research findings to develop both the final requirement specifications and the acquisition strategy, including determination of potential socioeconomic set-asides or full and open competition approaches.
No set-aside designation has been established at this time, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the notice. The procurement involves a quantity of five units of the Volara System 5, with the suggested NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies), though the VA remains open to alternative categorization suggestions from market respondents. Respondents must provide proof of SBA certification for SDVOSB and VOSB firms or proof of small business status through Representations and Certifications in accordance with FAR 4.1102. The VA assumes no responsibility for costs incurred in preparing responses to this Sources Sought notice. This is a preliminary market research phase designed to inform future acquisition planning rather than an active solicitation for bids or proposals.
