About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Network Contracting Office 16 has issued a Special Notice for a sole-source procurement of Scanlan Reliance Bulldog Clamps for the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas. The agency intends to negotiate and award a firm fixed price, non-personal services contract under Federal Acquisition Regulation Parts 12 and 13, utilizing the sole-source authority of FAR 6.302-1. Based on market research and previous acquisition history, the VA has determined that Appleton Medical Services is the only vendor capable of providing the required specialized surgical clamps. The procurement falls under Product Service Code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments and NAICS Code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing. This notice specifically states it is not a request for competitive proposals but serves as notification of the government's intent to proceed with sole-source negotiations.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the VA's intent to conduct a sole-source procurement while providing an opportunity for interested parties to challenge this determination. The procurement requires multiple specialized Scanlan Reliance Bulldog Clamps in various configurations, including straight and curved DeBakey jaw clamps ranging from 7mm to 40mm, along with bulldog applier/introducers, all of which must meet VA sterilization standards. Contractors who disagree with the sole-source determination may submit a letter of interest demonstrating their technical expertise, certifications, and authorization to compete, with responses due by August 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central Standard Time via email to Contracting Officer Joseph Warren. The government reserves the right to verify any submitted documentation with the original equipment manufacturer and will use responses solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead of the planned sole-source award.
