6515--ultrasonic surgical units

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for Ultrasonic Surgical Units for the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. Specifically, the agency is seeking manufacturers and distributors of dental ultrasonic surgical baths under NAICS code 339112, with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The RFI targets vendors capable of providing surgical units with key characteristics including a generator producing ultrasonic sound waves, a removable disinfectable basket, an automatic timer, and high-level disinfection capabilities. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with federal regulations, Buy American Act requirements, and provide detailed information about their manufacturing and distribution capabilities. The response deadline is March 14, 2025, at 9:00 am Pacific Time, with all submissions to be sent via email to Carlo Manuel at carlo.manuel@va.gov.

There are no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, and the RFI references L & R Ultrasonics as a reference manufacturer with specific product models like the SweepZone 310. While no explicit budget range is mentioned, the solicitation (36C26225Q0623) indicates this is a market research phase to assess vendor capabilities before a formal solicitation. The place of performance is the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, and vendors will be evaluated on their ability to provide FDA-cleared equipment, federal contract experience, lead times, and general pricing information. The procurement is associated with Product Service Code 6515 for medical and surgical instruments, and the primary point of contact is Carlo Manuel, who can be reached at 562-503-7111. Interested vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive responses demonstrating their technical and operational capabilities for supplying ultrasonic surgical units.
