About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 8, is conducting sources sought market research to identify sources for Thompson Surgical reusable retractor sets (Brand Name or Equal) for the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System, with responses due November 18, 2026. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used," but the market research seeks SDVOSB, VOSB, WOSB, and other small business responses to determine whether a small business category set-aside is warranted. Delivery is to the C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center, Surgery/Operating Room, 10000 Bay Pines Blvd, Bay Pines, FL 33744, within 30 calendar days after receipt of order. The requirement is a one-time, firm-fixed-price purchase of four table-mounted sets, with a basis of design of Thompson Surgical SL82007/SL82008 configuration. Each set must mount to standard OR table side rails, use multi-axial joints that lock at compound angles, and include radiolucent anodized-aluminum blades that permit intraoperative fluoroscopy without removal. All items must be reusable, compatible with manufacturer-recommended reprocessing, and delivered new, unused, and in original manufacturer packaging. The contractor must replace damaged or nonconforming items at no cost, provide the manufacturer's standard warranty, and furnish in-service training on setup, use, and reprocessing for Surgery and Sterile Processing staff at no additional cost. Responses go to Maia.rylandlesesene@va.gov and Cindy.Smith@va.gov and must include company identifiers (UEI, CAGE), a capabilities statement stating whether all items are on existing government contract, place of manufacturing, and a point of contact. Distributors must submit a manufacturer's authorized distributorship letter. Respondents must also state whether the prime manufactures the products or acquires them from small or large business manufacturers, and what percentage of total contract value will be subcontracted. The applicable NAICS code is 339112 with a 1,000-employee size standard, and the PSC is 6515. Responses inform only whether the VA conducts a competitive procurement, and the notice does not obligate the government.
