6515--Zeiss Laser Console Package |

The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center through Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, is seeking to procure a Carl Zeiss Visulas Trion Laser Console Package under solicitation number 36C24425Q0601. The procurement is specifically for a name-brand Zeiss laser system used for ophthalmological treatments including retinal procedures, diabetic retinopathy management, and glaucoma therapies. Interested contractors must download solicitation documents from SAM.gov and submit all questions in writing via email to matthew.wright6@va.gov, with no telephone inquiries permitted. The solicitation requires vendors to provide a comprehensive laser system including a Visulas Green Laser Console with dual fiber ports, laser slit lamp, laser indirect delivery system, Visuconnect with Forum License, and associated accessories. Quotes are due by April 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, with an evaluation likely focusing on the vendor's ability to meet the specific Zeiss brand requirements and technical specifications.

The contract is not set aside for any specific group and will be conducted under NAICS Code 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing. The place of performance is 1111 East End Blvd, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, and the contract period is scheduled from May 12, 2025, to August 1, 2025. The procurement is classified as a micro-purchase over the threshold but not exceeding $250,000, with the primary objective of replacing the medical center's existing Zeiss slit lamp with a new multi-wavelength laser system. The unique justification for brand-name only procurement stems from the medical center's current use of the Carl Zeiss FORUM database, which manages clinical workflows and patient data, making a switch to another system cost-prohibitive and operationally complex. The solicitation seeks a comprehensive laser package that includes the console, delivery systems, licenses, and supporting equipment to ensure seamless integration with existing medical infrastructure.
