6525--FUJIFILM SONOSITE ULTRASOUND SYSTEM - Brand Name

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 through its VHA RPOE Network Contracting Office 1 (NCO1) New England is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of Fujifilm Sonosite ultrasound equipment and related accessories. The procurement includes one Fujifilm Sonosite PX Ultrasound System, one Voice Assist unit, one L19-5 transducer, one PX stand, one user guide, and two service manuals. The agency intends to solicit only authorized distributors of Fujifilm Sonosite, the original equipment manufacturer, under streamlined procedures outlined in FAR 12.6 and FAR 13.106-1 with competition to the maximum extent practicable. Since the products are exclusively available through the OEM's authorized distributors, no formal solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov. Questions regarding this procurement must be directed to Contracting Specialist Kim McCarthy at kim.mccarthy@va.gov within five business days of the August 4, 2025 posting date, and the anticipated performance period runs from September 30, 2025 through January 30, 2026.

This procurement is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The procurement falls under PSC code 6525 for imaging equipment and supplies in the medical field. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to contract award and must comply with VA Acquisition Regulation clauses 852.212-71 and 852.212-72 regarding gray market and counterfeit items. The quantities being procured are relatively small, consisting of single units for most items except for two service manuals. The four-month performance period suggests this is likely a straightforward equipment delivery contract rather than a complex installation or service arrangement.
