6515--PTEye Basic Bundle and Fiber Optic Probe

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 is procuring a PTEye Basic Bundle and Fiber Optic Probe system for the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa, Florida. The solicitation seeks a brand-name Medtronic PTEye system that includes a basic bundle, console, footpedal, power supply, power cord, and fiber optic probe, with the equipment intended to improve surgical precision during thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy procedures by using near-infrared autofluorescence to detect parathyroid tissue in real-time. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide manufacturer documentation confirming their authorized distributor status for the Medtronic equipment. The quote submission deadline is June 26, 2025, at 11:00 AM EDT, with the contract being administered by the VA Network Contracting Office 8 in Tampa.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), restricting competition to qualified businesses within this socioeconomic category. The solicitation requests one complete PTEye system with delivery required within 30 days after receipt of order to the hospital's Warehousing Department. The equipment falls under NAICS code 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) and PSC code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). Performance will occur at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa, Florida, where the system will be used to potentially reduce surgical errors and prevent post-operative complications like hypoparathyroidism during parathyroid-related surgical procedures.
