The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 seeks to acquire reprocessing workstations under a sole source procurement pursuant to FAR Part 8, with proposals due August 10.

The procurement is structured as both a sole source under FAR Part 8 and an SDVOSB set-aside under FAR Part 12. The NAICS code is 339112, Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing; the PSC is 6515, Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies.

The salient characteristics document specifies ergonomic workstations for sterile processing use with defined features: 304-gauge stainless steel construction; tabletop sizes of 50x24 or 72x32 inches with 2.5-inch tabletop and 8x4 backsplash; single solid stainless-steel sink piece without welded joints; height-adjustable pegboard wall and lower shelf moving with the table; integrated pegboards for tools, cords, lighting, and bins; under-table heat sealer shelf; overhead LED hood lighting; etched tabletop ruler (minimum 36 inches); 4.75X magnification task light; concealed cord management with single GFCI requirement; built-in GFCI-protected power box with 8 outlets and breaker; and electronic push button height adjustment with integrated wrist rests. The workstation includes a 3-year electro-mechanical lifter warranty, installation support, in-servicing, and training. The document certifies per VAAR 811.104 and 811.105 that salient characteristics are essential and will not limit acquisition to a single manufacturer. Twenty-six specific Pure Processing model numbers and components comprise the approved configuration.
