The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement of a PTEye Parathyroid Detection System for the Asheville VA Medical Center in North Carolina. The agency intends to negotiate directly with Medtronic for this medical equipment under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b), which permits single-source solicitation. This notice is classified under NAICS Code 339112 for surgical and medical instrument manufacturing and falls under PSC category 6515 for medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies. The procurement is designated as having no set-aside requirements and allows for contractors with up to 1,000 employees. The contracting officer for this opportunity is Emily Donahue, who can be reached via email for any inquiries.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other qualified vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. Any business believing it can meet the requirements must submit written notice with detailed supporting evidence by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on August 22, 2025. Interested parties must possess relevant past experience and expertise in providing parathyroid detection systems and should direct all communications to Emily.Donahue@va.gov, as telephone requests will not be accepted. While the government will consider any responses received, the final determination on whether to compete the acquisition remains entirely at the government's discretion. This notice explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive quotes and that no solicitation documents are currently available.
