The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VHA VISN 21) has issued a Special Notice announcing a proposed contract action for heart valves (surgical implants). The notice, posted on November 25, 2024, is in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101, which requires public notification of contract actions exceeding $25,000. The procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. This special notice specifically indicates that the contract will be awarded to only one responsible source using procedures prescribed in FAR 13.106. The notice emphasizes that it is not a request for competitive quotes, but rather an informative communication about an upcoming sole-source procurement.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors about an upcoming contract for surgical heart valves, with a response deadline of December 2, 2024. Contractors should note that this is a sole-source procurement, which means only one vendor will be considered as the responsible source for these medical supplies. The contracting office, located at McClellan Park, CA, will handle the procurement, with Contract Specialist Dennis Fennelly serving as the point of contact for any additional inquiries. Eligibility appears limited, given the sole-source nature of the contract, which suggests a specific manufacturer or supplier has been identified as the only capable provider. The procurement will utilize Product Service Code (PSC) 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. Interested parties seeking more detailed information are advised to contact the specified point of contact directly for comprehensive procurement details.
