The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 is seeking quotes for Stryker brand surgical saw and drill instruments to be used by surgeons across orthopedics, podiatry, and vascular surgery specialties at the Hampton VA Medical Center. The solicitation is a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1000 employees. Quotes are due by January 24, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. EDT, to be submitted via email to ruth.morris@va.gov. The contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror, with evaluation criteria focused on vendors being authorized Stryker dealers/distributors who can provide a Letter of Authorization. Vendors must have an active SAM.gov registration and be certified in the SBA's Veteran certification database.

The solicitation is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with three potential qualified distributors identified: Academy Medical Inc., Beacon Point Associates, and TrillaMed LLC. The procurement covers 15 line items of specific Stryker surgical equipment, including various types of drills, batteries, battery chargers, containers, and saws (reciprocating, sagittal, precision, and sternum). This is a one-time buy with an estimated award date of April 15, 2024. The justification for the brand-specific procurement is based on the requirement for OEM warranty and the need for authorized distributors. Gray market items will not be accepted, and the contracting officer expects to receive at least two quotes from SDVOSB firms to ensure competitive pricing and technical acceptability.
