About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 has awarded a sole-source contract to Abbott Laboratories Inc. for the EnSite X EP Mapping System & Peripherals on August 23, 2026, with a contract value of $340,000.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-1(c), brand name authority. Abbott is the sole source capable of providing the required equipment because the EnSite X EP System and its peripherals—including the EnSite X Amplifier, Field Frame, and patient reference sensors—function as a proprietary, integrated closed ecosystem engineered with Abbott-specific mapping algorithms, impedance and magnetic localization technologies that no competing manufacturer can replicate or support. The system replaces the current Abbott arrhythmia mapping system at San Francisco VA Medical Center, which has reached end-of-life, and enables use of pulsed field ablation technology for faster, safer ablation outcomes. Market research through GSA Advantage, VA National Acquisition Center, and Supply Chain Master Catalog databases confirmed no alternative sources exist, with only Abbott Laboratories Inc. holding OEM status. Although the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search identified multiple Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses in the broader medical device sector, none demonstrated specific capability to manufacture or supply the EnSite X EP System, and the VA Rule of Two was not met. The Contracting Officer certified approval under FAR Part 12 for this procurement. Place of performance is Santa Clara, California. Contract number is 36C26126P1101.
