6515--vacuum erectile device follow-on (VA-24-00017777)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center is seeking to procure both battery-operated and manually operated Vacuum Erectile Devices (VEDs) under Product Service Code 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. This procurement will be conducted using FAR Part 12 procedures for commercial products and services, with the Request for Quote expected to be released to SAM in mid-November 2025. The solicitation number is 36C10G26Q0001, and interested vendors must submit their responses by November 14, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The contracting office is based in Fredericksburg, VA, with Shemika Wray serving as the Contract Specialist point of contact. Notably, the VA has indicated that no telephone or email questions will be accepted during the pre-solicitation phase, and vendors should monitor SAM for the full solicitation release and detailed evaluation criteria.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS Code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), meaning only businesses meeting these criteria are eligible to compete. The anticipated contract structure includes a one-year base period followed by four one-year option periods, creating a potential five-year ordering arrangement with the VA. While specific award values or quantity requirements are not detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, the multi-year ordering period and the VA's established need for these medical devices suggest a significant procurement opportunity. As a follow-on contract, this procurement likely replaces or extends an existing arrangement, though no incumbent contractor information is provided in the available documentation. Interested SDVOSB vendors should prepare their responses immediately upon the full solicitation release to meet the November 14 deadline.
