6540--Lebanon BNOE Multifocal IOL Consignment

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) is seeking a consignment agreement for Alcon Clareon Vivity multifocal Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) for the Lebanon VA Medical Center. The solicitation, identified as 36C24425Q0508, is for a five-year ordering period to supply IOLs that will be used in approximately 250 surgical procedures annually. Potential vendors must submit quotes via email to keri.hester1@va.gov by April 16, 2025, with all questions due by April 11, 2025. The contract requires the successful contractor to maintain a consignment inventory of IOLs at the medical center, replenish stock within 48 hours if levels fall below minimum quantities, and replace used items within 3-5 business days. Evaluation will likely focus on compliance with technical specifications, inventory management capabilities, and ability to meet the VA's precise lens diopter requirements across multiple lens types.

The procurement is an unrestricted solicitation under NAICS category 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) with a size standard of 800 employees. The consignment agreement has a minimum guaranteed amount of $25,000 for the base period, with potential for four additional option years. The place of performance is located at 1700 South Lincoln Avenue in Lebanon, Pennsylvania 17042. The solicitation covers multiple lens types with specific diopter ranges, typically requiring 3-4 units per lens size between 10 and 30 diopters. Alcon appears to be the primary vendor of interest, with the VA seeking to ensure immediate availability of multifocal IOLs that can help patients focus on intermediate distances without additional eyewear. The procurement will be managed by the Prosthetics Contracting Team, with payment to be made using the VA Purchase Card only when products are actually used or packages opened.
