The procurement is intended for Werfen USA, LLC and will supply equipment for the Catheterization Laboratory at the VA facility located at 6010 Amarillo Blvd West in Amarillo, Texas. The contract will be firm-fixed price and includes one AVOXimeter 1000E analyzer unit along with a one-year warranty and optional post-warranty annual service.

Interested parties have five days from the July 11, 2025 publication date to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration. All responsible sources are eligible to respond, though the VA emphasizes that telephone calls will not be accepted and written responses must be submitted. If no affirmative written response is received within the five-day deadline, the contract will be issued to Werfen without further notice. The procurement is being conducted under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which permits other than full and open competition when only one responsible source exists.
